The interplay of topology and magnetism has been of great interest in the last few years. The coexistence of both phenomena can be realized in europium based compounds with the 122 stoichiometry and a trigonal crystal structure (P3m1). Recently, a spin fluctuation induced Weyl semimetal state in the paramagnetic phase of EuCd2As2 [1,2] and its tunability by pressure [3] was discovered. Furthermore, EuCd2P2 has been explored due to its colossal magnetoresistance [4], where the origin of the effect was explained by the formation of ferromagnetic clusters [5].
With the aim of studying the magnetic and electronic properties of EuCd2P2 compound in detail and finding similar effects in EuZn2P2 both systems were studied. Here, we present the successful crystal growth and characterization via magnetization, electrical transport, heat capacity and spectroscopy.
