Synthesis and characterization of single crystals of the spin-1/2 kagome-lattice antiferromagnets Zn[subscript x]Cu[subscript 4-x](OH)[subscript 6]Cl[subscript 2]

Synthesis and characterization of single crystals of the spin-1/2 kagome-lattice antiferromagnets Zn[subscript x]Cu[subscript 4-x](OH)[subscript 6]Cl[subscript 2]

The Zn-paratacamite family, ZnxCu4-x(OH)6Cl2 for x [greater than or equal to]0.33, is an ideal system for studying spin-1/2 frustrated magnetism in the form of antiferromagnetic Cu2+ kagome planes. Here we report a new synthesis method by which high-quality millimeter-sized single crystals of Zn-par...
