High magnetic field neutron scattering study on the quantum sawtooth chain material atacamite Cu2Cl(OH)3

PID

We propose to carry out an elastic neutron scattering experiment at the High Magnetic Field Facility for Neutron Scattering of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin on the natural mineral atacamite in applied magnetic fields up to 25 T and temperatures down to 1.5K (4He cryostat). Atacamite, with chemical formula Cu2Cl(OH)3, exhibits a magnetic behavior which is characteristic of a frustrated quantum magnet and further, band structure calculations suggested that the system can essentially be understood in terms of a quantum sawtooth chain. Depending on the ratio of the coupling constants there is a 1/2-magnetization plateau predicted by theory, and which we observed recently in magnetization measurements up to 50 T. We wish to study the plateau phase above 21 T for H || c axis by means of elastic neutron scattering.
