We synthesized single crystals of the new hexagonal compounds A$_2$Cu$_3$SnF$_{12}$ with A=Cs and Rb, and investigated their magnetic properties. These compounds are composed of Kagom{e} layers of corner-sharing CuF$_6$-octahedra. Cs$_2$Cu$_3$SnF$_{12}$ has the proper Kagom{e} layer at room temperature, and undergoes structural phase transition at $T_mathrm{t}simeq 185$ K. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in Cs$_2$Cu$_3$SnF$_{12}$ agrees well with the result of the numerical calculation for $S=1/2$ two-dimensional Heisenberg Kagom{e} antiferromagnet down to $T_mathrm{t}$ with the nearest exchange interaction $J/k_mathrm{B}simeq 240$ K. Although the magnetic susceptibility deviates from the calculated result below $T<T_mathrm{t}$, the rounded maxima were observed at approximately $Tsimeq (1/6)J/k_mathrm{B}$ as predicted by the theory. Cs$_2$Cu$_3$SnF$_{12}$ undergoes three-dimensional magnetic ordering at $T_mathrm{N} = 20$ K.

We investigated the crystal structure of Rb$_2$Cu$_3$SnF$_{12}$ and its magnetic properties using single crystals. This compound is composed of Kagome layers of corner-sharing CuF$_{6}$ octahedra with a 2a x 2a enlarged cell as compared with the prop
er Kagome layer. Rb$_2$Cu$_3$SnF$_{12}$ is magnetically described as an $S$=1/2 modified Kagome antiferromagnet with four kinds of neighboring exchange interaction. From magnetic susceptibility and high-field magnetization measurements, it was found that the ground state is a disordered singlet with the spin gap, as predicted from a recent theory. Exact diagonalization for a 12-site Kagome cluster was performed to analyze the magnetic susceptibility, and individual exchange interactions were evaluated.
Magnetization and specific heat measurements have been carried out on Cs$_2$Cu$_3$ZrF$_{12}$ and Cs$_2$Cu$_3$HfF$_{12}$ single crystals, in which Cu$^{2+}$ ions with spin-1/2 form a regular Kagom{e} lattice. The antiferromagnetic exchange interaction
between neighboring Cu$^{2+}$ spins is $J/k_{rm B}simeq 360$ K and 540 K for Cs$_2$Cu$_3$ZrF$_{12}$ and Cs$_2$Cu$_3$HfF$_{12}$, respectively. Structural phase transitions were observed at $T_{rm t}simeq 210$ K and 175 K for Cs$_2$Cu$_3$ZrF$_{12}$ and Cs$_2$Cu$_3$HfF$_{12}$, respectively. The specific heat shows a small bend anomaly indicative of magnetic ordering at $T_mathrm{N}= 23.5$ K and 24.5 K in Cs$_2$Cu$_3$ZrF$_{12}$ and Cs$_2$Cu$_3$HfF$_{12}$, respectively. Weak ferromagnetic behavior was observed below $T_mathrm{N}$. This weak ferromagnetism should be ascribed to the antisymmetric interaction of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya type that are generally allowed in the Kagom{e} lattice.
High-resolution time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction and high-field magnetization were measured to investigate the magnetic structure and existence of a field-induced magnetic phase transition in the distorted kagome antiferromagnet Cs$_2$Cu$_3$
SnF$_{12}$. Upon cooling from room temperature, the compound undergoes a structural phase transition at $T_textrm{t}=185$ K from the rhombohedral space group $Rbar{3}m$ with the perfect kagome spin network to the monoclinic space group $P2_1/n$ with the distorted kagome planes. The distortion results in three inequivalent exchange interactions among the $S=1/2$ Cu$^{2+}$ spins that magnetically order below $T_textrm{N}=20.2$ K. Magnetization measured with a magnetic field applied within the kagome plane reveals small in-plane ferromagnetism resulting from spin canting. On the other hand, the out-of-plane magnetization does not show a clear hysteresis loop of the ferromagnetic component nor a prominent anomaly up to 170 T, with the exception of the subtle knee-like bend around 90 T, which could indicate the 1/3 magnetization plateau. The combined analysis using the irreducible representations of the magnetic space groups and magnetic structure refinement on the neutron powder diffraction data suggests that the magnetic moments order in the magnetic space group $P2_1/n$ with the all-in-all-out spin structure, which by symmetry allows for the in-plane canting, consistent with the in-plane ferromagnetism observed in the magnetization.
Following the discovery of a new family of kagome prototypical materials with structure AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs), there has been heightened interest in studying correlation-driven electronic phenomena in these kagome lattice systems. The study of
these materials has gone beyond magneto-transport measurements to reveal exciting features such as Dirac bands, anomalous Hall effect, bulk superconductivity with $T_c$ $sim$ 0.9 K-2.5 K, and the observation of charge density wave instabilities which suggests an intertwining of topological physics and new quantum orders. Moreover, very recent works on numerous types of experiments have appeared further examining the unconventional superconductivity and the exotic electronic states found within these kagome materials. Theories on the strong interactions that play a role in these systems have been proposed to shed light on the nature of these topological charge density waves. In this brief review, we summarize these recent experimental findings and theoretical proposals to connect them with the concepts of topological physics and strongly-correlated electron systems.
The electronic and magnetic structure, including the Heisenberg model exchange interaction parameters, was explored for the recently proposed novel cuprate Cu$_2$F$_5$. Using the DFT+U calculation, it is shown that the compound is formed by two types
of copper ions with $d^9$ and $d^8$ electronic configurations. We have found a very stable antiferromagnetic ordering with strong anisotropy of exchange interaction that results in the appearance of an unusual 2D-magnetism: within the (100)-plane the exchange between the S=1 and S=1/2 Cu ions has almost the same strength as between the two S=1 ions. The interplane magnetic interaction is five times weaker than the in-plane one.
