摘要: Transition-metal monosilicide RhGe has been reported to exhibit weak itinerant ferromagnetism, superconductivity, and topological properties. In this study, we report the high-pressure growth of high-quality RhGe single crystals up to millimeter size using a flux method. Transport measurements reveal metallic behavior in RhGe from 2 K to 300 K with Fermi liquid behavior at low temperatures. However, no superconductivity was observed with variations in the Ge composition. Magnetic characterizations indicate that RhGe exhibits paramagnetic behavior between 2 K and 300 K. The high-quality and large-size RhGe single crystals pave the way for further investigation of their topological properties using spectroscopic techniques.

However, no superconductivity was observed with variations in the Ge composition. Magnetic characterizations indicate that RhGe exhibits paramagnetic behavior between 2 K and 300 K. The high-quality and large-size RhGe single crystals pave the way for further investigation of their topological properties using spectroscopic techniques.
