Crystal Growth, Structure, and Diverse Magnetic Behaviors in Frustrated Triangular Lattice REBO (RE = Tb-Yb).

Triangular lattice (TL) materials are a rich playground for investigating exotic quantum spin states and related applications in quantum computing and quantum information. Millimeter-level single crystals of REBO (RE = Tb-Yb) with a nearly perfect RE-based TL have been successfully grown via a high-temperature flux method and structurally characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These 113-type materials crystallize in a monoclinic crystal system with a 2/ space group.
