Abstract
The topological kagome metal CoSn hosts orbital-selective Dirac bands and very flat bands near the Fermi energy that lead to a range of exotic phenomena, such as fractional quantum Hall states. In this work, we report the synthesis of high-quality epitaxial (0001) CoSn films by magnetron sputtering. Comprehensive structural characterizations demonstrate high crystalline quality with low disorder, sharp interfaces, and a smooth surface. Complementary magnetic and transport properties show a paramagnetic, metallic ground state as seen in bulk. Our work creates a synthetic foundation to investigate and utilize rich topological physics in CoSn thin films and heterostructures.
