Growth And Characterization Of Sm3hfbi5, Patrick Lambdin Jan 2023

Growth And Characterization Of Sm3hfbi5, Patrick Lambdin

Graduate Theses/Dissertations

First found experimentally in 2015, topological Weyl materials are desirable compounds that have garnered much interest due to their ability to conduct electricity via their surface states even though the bulk material is a semimetal. Such a candidate, Sm3HfBi5, was discovered with a flux crystal growth method, following an extensive amount of reaction syntheses. This thesis reports on the discovery, growth, structural characterization via x-ray diffraction, and magnetization measurements on Sm3HfBi5.
