Square-lattice magnetism of diaboleite Pb2Cu(OH)4Cl2

Abstract: We report on the quasi-two-dimensional magnetism of the natural mineral diaboleite Pb2Cu(OH)4Cl2 with a tetragonal crystal structure, which is closely related to that of the frustrated spin-1/2 magnet PbVO3. Magnetic susceptibility of diaboleite is well described by a Heisenberg spin model on a diluted square lattice with the nearest-neighbor exchange of J~35 K and about 5% of non-magnetic impurities. The dilution of the spin lattice reflects the formation of Cu vacancies that are tolerated by the crystal stru… Show more

“…From the constant C, we obtain an effective magnetic moment of 1.96 B m /Cu which is larger than the spin only value of 1.73 and implies the g-factor of 2.26 lying still in the expected range for Cu 2+ compounds [31,39,57]. The positive θ indicates predominant AFM couplings, which are, however, quite weak.…”

“…This suppression of the T N implies that only a small amount of the magnetic entropy is available at the transition, thus rendering the λ-type anomaly of the specific heat diminutively small. The absence of the transition anomaly in the specific-heat data of quasi-2D antiferromagnets has been demonstrated both experimentally [34,35] and theoretically [36]. In this case, magnetic susceptibility (and the associated Fisher's heat capacity) serves as a more sensitive probe of the transition, because the susceptibility kink is driven by the anisotropy of the ordered state and does not depend on the dimensionality.…”
