First-Principles Study of Magnetism, Electronic Structure, and Bonding in Nb-Mn-Ge Kagome Compounds

In this work, we systematically investigate the magnetic ground states, electronic structures, and bonding characteristics of the computationally predicted stable NbMn6Ge6, NbMn6Ge5, and NbMn6Ge4 using first-principles calculations. Our results show that structurally stable NbMn6Ge6 has a collinear antiferromagnetic co...
