FeSn, a kagome ferromagnet, is a potential quantum material with intriguing topological features. Despite substantial experimental work on the bulk single crystals, the thin film growth of FeSn remains relatively unexplored. Here, we investigate the effect of two different seed layers (Ta and Pt) on the growth of FeSn thin films.

However, previous research has focused mainly on non-magnetic materials, so the magnetic contribution to the SHE is not well understood. Here we show that antiferromagnets have richer spin Hall properties than do non-magnetic materials.
