Description
Strong electronic correlations give rise to exotic forms of electronic orderings, such as high temperature superconductivity or colossal magnetoresistance. In recent years, the question arose of how they could also influence topological properties, where exotic fermions, such as Dirac or Weyl fermions have been discovered. We propose the study of systems containing kagome planes of transition metals (Fe, Co, Rh…), which intrinsically bring together strong correlations, for example associated with magnetic correlations, and topologically non-trivial band structures. We propose to synthesize and characterize in the laboratory compounds from these families and apply to them various perturbations (doping, strain…) to modify their properties. We will then perform angle resolved photoemission experiments to study its electronic band structure and check for the presence of topological and/or correlated properties.
