Abstract

A 2×2×1 superstructure of the P6₃/mmc NiAs structure is reported in which kagome nets are stabilized in the octahedral transition metal layers of the compounds Ni_0.7Pd_0.2Bi, Ni_0.6Pt_0.4Bi, and Mn_0.99Pd_0.01Bi. The ordered vacancies that yield the true hexagonal kagome motif lead to filling of trigonal bipyramidal interstitial sites with the transition metal in this family of "kagome-NiAs" type materials. Further ordering of vacancies within these interstitial layers can be compositionally driven to simultaneously yield kagome-connected layers and a net polarization along the c axes in Ni_0.9Bi and Ni_0.79Pd_0.08Bi, which adopt Fmm2 symmetry. The polar and non-polar materials exhibit different electronic transport behaviour, reflecting the tuneability of both structure and properties within the NiAs-type bismuthide materials family.
