Title: Structural and double magnetic transitions in the frustrated spin- 1 2 capped-kagome antiferromagnet ( RbCl ) Cu 5 P 2 O 10

Abstract

The structural and magnetic properties of the geometrically frustrated spin- 1 2 capped-kagome antiferromagnet (RbCl) Cu5P2O10 are investigated via temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction, magnetization, heat capacity, and 31P NMR experiments on a polycrystalline sample. It undergoes a structural transition at around Tt ≃ 310 K from a high-temperature trigonal (P ¯3m1) to a low-temperature monoclinic (C2/c) unit cell, where the low-temperature structure features the capped-kagome geometry of Cu2+ ions. Interestingly, it shows the onset of two successive magnetic transitions at TN1 ≃ 20 K and TN2 ≃ 7 K. The shape of the 31P NMR spectra unfolds the possible nature of the transitions below TN1 and TN2 to be of incommensurate and commensurate antiferromagnetic type, respectively. A large value of the Curie-Weiss temperature as compared to TN1 sets the frustration parameter f ≃ 8, ensuring strong magnetic frustration in the compound. From the 31P NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate, the leading antiferromagnetic exchange coupling is estimated to be J/kB ≃ 117 K. Furthermore, these unusual double magnetic transitions make this compound beguiling for further investigations.
