The discovery of superconductivity in layered vanadium-based kagome metals $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$: K, Rb, Cs) has added a new family of materials to the growing class of possible unconventional superconductors. However, the nature of the…
Quantum states induced by single-atomic-impurities are the current frontier of material and information science. Recently the spin-orbit coupled correlated kagome magnets are emerging as a new class of topological quantum materials,…
We review the hallmarks of orbital loop currents in various correlated electron materials and how they have been evidenced using polarized neutron diffraction. Over the last 20 years, loop current signatures have been observed in high…
Bi-layer Kagome compounds provide an exciting playground where the interplay of topology and strong correlations can give rise to exotic phases of matter. Motivated by recent first principles calculation on such systems (Phys. Rev. Lett…
Charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom underlie the physics of transition metal compounds. Much work has revealed quantum critical points associated with spin and charge degrees of freedom in many of these systems. Here we illustrate…
The Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice is an archetypal instance of how large ground state degeneracies arise, and how they may get resolved by thermal and quantum fluctuations. Augmenting the Heisenberg model by chiral spin…
We study the ground state of a spin-half Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the stacked kagome lattice by using a spin-rotation-invariant Green's-function method. Since the pure two-dimensional kagome antiferromagnet is most likely a…
Kagome materials are known for hosting exotic quantum states, including quantum spin liquids, charge density waves, and unconventional superconductivity. The search for kagome monolayers is driven by their ability to exhibit neat and…
Rich spontaneous symmetry-breaking phenomena with nontrivial quantum geometric properties in metals represent central issues in condensed matter physics. In this context, the emergence of chiral loop-current order, accompanied by…
The Van Hove singularities (VHSs), where the electronic density of states diverges due to saddle points in the band structure, play a crucial role in enhancing electronic correlations and driving various instabilities. In particular,…
Ordered states for a classical Heisenberg model on fcc lattice structure with ABC stacked kagome planes of magnetic ions are investigated by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation. Both the nearest-neighbor exchange…
We report a detailed study of the magnetic properties, critical analysis of magnetization, and magnetocaloric effect of a spin-$2$ kagome lattice YCa$_3$(MnO)$_3$(BO$_3$)$_4$. The experiments are complemented by the density functional band…
Novel states of matter arise in quantum materials due to strong interactions among electrons. A nematic phase breaks the point group symmetry of the crystal lattice and is known to emerge in correlated materials. Here we report the…
Special arrangements of atoms with more than one atom per unit cell, including honeycomb or kagome (woven bamboo mat) lattices, can host propagating excitations with non-trivial topology as defined by their evolution along closed paths in…
Kagome-lattice materials have attracted tremendous interest due to the broad prospect for seeking superconductivity, quantum spin liquid states, and topological electronic structures. Among them, the transition-metal kagome lattices are…
Magnetic kagome materials provide a fascinating playground for exploring the interplay of magnetism, correlation and topology. Many magnetic kagome systems have been reported including the binary FemXn (X=Sn, Ge; m:n = 3:1, 3:2, 1:1) family…
While correlated phenomena of flat bands have been extensively studied in twisted systems, the ordered states that emerge from interactions in the intrinsic flat bands of kagome lattice materials remain largely unexplored. The newly…
Spin liquids are exotic phases of quantum matter challenging Landau's paradigm of symmetry-breaking phase transitions. Despite strong exchange interactions, spins do not order or freeze down to zero temperature. While well-established for…
Charge order is a widely observed and representative example of spontaneous broken symmetries in quantum states of matter. Owing to the large intra-atomic Coulomb energy, the charge redistribution in such an order typically implies…
Y-kapellasite (Y$_3$Cu$_9$(OH)$_{19}$Cl$_8$), which hosts an original anisotropic kagome sublattice, is a promising candidate for studying elusive and complex correlated physics. It exhibits a theoretically predicted in-plane $(1/3, 1/3)$…
