✦ Synopsis

The cover picture shows the in‐plane segment of a Ni‐kagome layer, giving rise to magnetic polarization (see hysteresis) due to Ni spins lying above and below the kagome plane. The spin densities of a hexagon of this Ni‐kagome compound obtained through density functional theory shows that the spin‐polarized structure (shown) with canted moments due to Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya (DM) interactions is more stable compared to the spin‐zero structure.
