Today, more and more Eu-based compounds come into focus of magnetic topological nontrivial materials. The first examples were thin films of EuS on Bi2Se3 [1]. In recent studies, the material EuCd2As2 has attracted a lot of attention due to emergence of a variety of topological phases and magnetic phenomena [2,3]. Recently, a spin fluctuation induced Weyl semimetal state in the paramagnetic phase of EuCd2As2 [2] and its tunability by pressure [4] was discovered. Furthermore, the similar material EuCd2P2 has been explored due to its strong colossal magnetoresistance effect [5]. In this work we present the single crystal growth and characterization of the related system EuT2X2, with T = Cd, Zn, Mn and X = P, crystallizing in the same trigonal structure (P-3m1) in order to search for similar effects in these materials. The physical properties of the compounds are explored via magnetization, electrical transport and heat capacity.
