研究目的
Investigating the materials synthesis, crystal structure, and anisotropic magnetic properties of single crystals of CeAlGe, a proposed type-II Weyl semimetal.
研究成果
The study confirms the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure of CeAlGe and its antiferromagnetic order below ~5 K. The magnetization is highly anisotropic, with the a axis being the easy axis. The small carrier density indicates that CeAlGe is a semimetal. The findings provide a foundation for further studies on quantum criticality and the potential realization of type-II Weyl fermions in this system.
研究不足
The study is limited by the temperature range of measurements (300 to 1.8 K) and the magnetic field range (up to 140 kOe). The interpretation of the magnetic order and electronic properties is based on the assumption of a noncentrosymmetric crystal structure.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of single crystals of CeAlGe using the high temperature Al self-?ux method, followed by detailed characterization of their crystal structure and magnetic properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Single crystals of CeAlGe and LaAlGe were grown and used for measurements.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Rigaku MiniFlex diffractometer, Bruker APEX-II CCD system, Quantum Design Magnetic Properties Measurement System (MPMS?3), and other standard laboratory equipment were used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

5：Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed to determine the crystal structure, magnetic order, and electronic properties of CeAlGe.
