الوصف: | Abstract Kagome lattice materials are an important platform for highly frustrated magnetism as well as for a plethora of phenomena resulting from flat bands, Dirac cones and van Hove singularities in their electronic structures. We study the little known metallic magnet CrRhAs, which belongs to a vast family of materials that includes 3d, 4f, and 5f magnetic elements, as well as numerous nonmagnetic metals and insulators. Using noncollinear spin density functional calculations (mostly spin spirals), we extract a model magnetic Hamiltonian for CrRhAs. While it is dominated by an antiferromagnetic second nearest neighbor coupling in the kagome plane, the metallic nature of the compound leads to numerous nonzero longer range couplings and to important ring exchange terms. We analyze this Hamiltonian and find unusual ground states which are dominated by nearly isolated antiferromagnetic triangles that adopt 120∘ order either with positive or with negative vector chirality. We discuss the connection to the few known experimental facts about CrRhAs. Finally, we give a brief survey of other interesting magnetic members of this family of kagome compounds. |
