Abstract

In this study, we explored the electronic properties of a two-dimensional (2D) kagome lattice in the presence of an external magnetic field, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and strain. Our focus was on investigating the energy-dependent behavior of the electronic heat capacity and paramagnetic spin susceptibility in response to changing factors. Employing the Green's function approach, we successfully determined the energy dependence of the electronic heat capacity and paramagnetic susceptibility using the tight-binding model. Notably, at low energies, the electronic heat capacity almost reaches the Schottky anomaly peak, while the paramagnetic susceptibility sharply decreases. Furthermore, we conducted a detailed investigation of the energy-dependent paramagnetic susceptibility and electronic heat capacity of a kagome lattice monolayer, considering the influences of SOC and magnetic field factors. Our investigation of the density of states (DOS) in the presence of SOC suggests that semimetal-to-insulator phase transitions occur. Additionally, throughout our study, we observed variations in the DOS spectrum, indicating the influence of both compressive and tensile strains. We found that these alterations, along with the splitting of levels under different conditions, led to changes in the material's electrical properties.
