Kagomé lattice compounds and their related systems

Abstract

The search for new Kagomé lattice compounds and their related systems has attracted much interest but is still a great challenge, because these compounds usually show unique structural features and various unusual magnetic properties, but an ideal lattice is not easily obtained and some of the magnetic properties are not well understood. In this feature article review, we summarize the works of our research group in recent years, mainly including new types of lattices, structural features, and the magnetic behaviors of such Kagomé related systems. Moreover, current problems and future prospects of this respect are also discussed.
