abstract = {Magnetic kagome metals have attracted tremendous research
interests recently, because they represent an ideal
playground for exploring the fascinating interplay between
their intrinsically inherited topologically nontrivial
electron band structures, magnetism and electronic
correlation effects, and the resultant novel
electronic/magnetic states and emergent excitations. In this
work, we report a comprehensive single-crystal neutron
diffraction investigation of the ground-state magnetic
structures of the recently discovered V-based topological
kagome metals 𝑅V6Sn6 (R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er).
Furthermore, the sample synthesis details and our systematic
studies of crystal structure, low-temperature magnetic and
thermodynamic properties of these compounds via various
in-house characterization techniques are also reported. Our
single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements confirm that
the long-range magnetic order forms below 4.3 K for 𝑅=Tb,
3.0 K for 𝑅=Dy, 2.4 K for 𝑅=Ho, and 0.6 K for 𝑅=Er,
respectively. The ground-state magnetic structures of the
studied compounds are comprehensively determined via the
magnetic crystallography approaches. It can be revealed that
𝑅V6Sn6 (𝑅 = Tb, Dy, Ho) have a collinear
ferromagnetic order in the ground state, with the ordered
magnetic moment aligned along the 𝑐 axis for 𝑅 = Tb,
Ho, while approximately 20∘ tilted off from the 𝑐
axis for 𝑅 = Dy. In contrast, ErV6Sn6 shows an A-type
antiferromagnetic structure with a magnetic propagation
vector k = (0, 0, 0.5), and with the ordered magnetic moment
aligned in the 𝑎𝑏 plane. The ordered magnetic
moments are determined as 9.4(2) µ𝐵, 6.6(2) µ𝐵,
6.4(2) µ𝐵, and 6.1(2) µ𝐵 for 𝑅 = Tb, Dy, Ho, and
Er, respectively. A comparison of the low-temperature
magnetic structures for both the extensively investigated
topological kagome metal series of 𝑅V6Sn6 and
𝑅Mn6Sn6 is given in detail. This allows to gain new
insights into the complex magnetic interactions, diverse
single-ion magnetic anisotropies and spin dynamics in these
compounds. The reported ground-state magnetic structures in
𝑅V6Sn6 (𝑅 = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) can pave the way for
further explorations of the possible interplay between
magnetism and topologically nontrivial electron band
structures in the magnetically ordered phase
