Investigation of the low temperature magnetic order in azurite.

DOI

Both a natural mineral and quantum magnet, azurite is a candidate model of the so-called Distorted Diamond Chain system. Such a system should theoretically exhibit spin-1/3 excitations. This novel feature is dependent on the relative strengths of the magnetic exchange couplings in azurite which is currently a much debated topic. In order to understand the magnetic exchange in this system it is crucial to acquire information about both the structure and magnetism below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature, TN = 1.86 K. We propose to study azurite both above and below TN in order to investigate the curious inter-dependence of structure and magnetism in this system.
