Atypical antiferromagnetic ordering in single crystalline quasi-2D honeycomb magnet YbI${}_3$

Nashra Pistawala, Luminita Harnagea, Sitaram Ramakrishnan +4

Here, we study YbI${}_3$, a quasi-2D layered material with Yb atoms arranged on an ideal honeycomb network of edge-sharing YbI${}_6$ octahedra, analogous to the low-temperature phase o…
