a Room temperature (RT) crystal structures of ScV6Sn6 with atomic displacement ellipsoids as determined from laboratory single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Ag Kα) using the Space Group (SG) P6/mmm (191) highlighting the kagome lattice pattern of the vanadium atoms. b Temperature dependence of the heat capacity for the ScV6Sn6 single crystals. Insets show a photograph of ScV6Sn6 single crystal and the crystal structure along c-direction. c, d Reciprocal (hk0) and (0kl) respectively, lattice planes measured by laboratory X-ray diffraction at RT for a ScV6Sn6 single crystal, illustrating the agreement between the observed systematic absences and those of the P6/mmm SG. e Agreement between the observed and calculated diffraction data at RT, as obtained from structural refinements (see Methods).
