这份手稿的中心动机是强调发现新的、高度相关的电子系统。由稀土元素、过渡金属和主族元素组成的基态不寻常的三元相表现出竞争行为，导致潜在的新的物理性质。众所周知，这些系统表现出奇异的性质，如非传统的超导电性，重费米子行为，以及不寻常的磁性形式。助熔剂生长法为发现和生长大型单晶材料提供了一条途径，从而可以确定结构与物理性质的关系。高质量单晶的生长对于阐明其固有的磁性、电学和热力学性质是必不可少的，在推进基础材料和应用材料研究方面发挥了重要作用。在这篇手稿中，我们综述了一组金属间化合物的晶体结构、物理性质和结构-性质相关性，以说明该化合物的结构和性质。
The central motivation of this manuscript is to highlight the discovery of novel, highly correlated electron systems. Ternary phases with unusual ground states composed of lanthanides, transition metals, and main group elements exhibit competing behavior leading to potentially novel physical properties. These systems are known to exhibit exotic properties such as unconventional superconductivity, heavy fermion behavior, and unusual forms of magnetism. The flux-growth method provides an avenue to discover and grow large single crystalline materials so that structure–physical property relationships may be determined. The growth of high quality single crystals is necessary to elucidate the intrinsic magnetic, electronic, and thermodynamic properties and has played a significant role in advancing basic and applied materials research. In this manuscript, we review the crystal structures, physical properties, and structure–property correlations of a select group of intermetallic compounds to demonstrate the pot...
