Abstract

Chemistry

Single crystals of an orthorhombic polymorph of kagome metal YbFe6Ge6 were grown from Zn flux. This Zn-flux-stabilized phase exhibits mixed Yb valency and magnetic behavior that differs from its hexagonal counterpart, underscoring the profound influence of flux selection on both structure and physical properties in intermetallic materials.
