Key Points

This research aims to investigate the synthesis and unique properties of YbFe₆Ge₆ using Zn flux.
Grew single crystals of orthorhombic YbFe₆Ge₆ from Zn flux.
Analyzed magnetic behavior and Yb valency in the new phase.
Discovered mixed Yb valency in the orthorhombic phase.
Observed distinct magnetic behavior compared to the hexagonal form.

Implication

Single crystals of orthorhombic kagome metal exhibit novel Yb valency and magnetic behavior, suggesting potential for advanced materials.

Abstract

Single crystals of an orthorhombic polymorph of kagome metal YbFe₆Ge₆ was grown from Zn flux. This Zn-flux-stabilized phase exhibits mixed Yb valency and magnetic behavior that differs from its hexagonal...
