Single crystal growth and anisotropic magnetic properties of HoAl2Ge2

We have grown a single crystal of HoAl2Ge2, which crystallizes in the hexagonal CaAl2Si2 type structure with Ho ions in the trigonal coordination in the ab plane. The data obtained from the bulk measurement techniques of magnetization, heat capacity and transport reveal that HoAl2Ge2 orders antiferr...
