Physical properties of single crystalline $R$Mg${}_2$Cu${}_9$ ($R$ = Y, Ce-Nd, Gd-Dy, Yb) and the search for in-plane magnetic anisotropy in hexagonal systems

Tai Kong, William R. Meier, Qisheng Lin +4

Single crystals of $R$Mg${}_2$Cu${}_9$ ($R$=Y, Ce-Nd, Gd-Dy, Yb) were grown using a high-temperature solution growth technique and were characterized by measurements of room-temper…
