Topotactic Growth of Zintl Phase Eu${}_5$In${}_2$As${}_6$ Nanowires with Antiferromagnetic Behavior

Man Suk Song, Lothar Houben, Nadav Rothem +5

We demonstrate a topotactic transformation of zincblende InAs(Sb) nanowires into the Zintl phase Eu${}_5$In${}_2$As${}_6$ through a vapor-solid mutual exchange process involving Eu and I…
