Low Temperature Raman Spectroscopic Study on γ-Cu2(OH)3Cl

Article Preview

Abstract:

The low temperature (T) Raman spectroscopic study on the geometrically frustrated clinoatacamite γ-Cu2(OH)3Cl is reported. By measuring the T-dependent spectral profiles and representative modes, we have obtained auxiliary evidence of successive magnetic transitions near Tc1 =18.1 K and Tc2 =6.4 K determined accurately by the magnetic experiments in the Raman band frequencies and peak widths of the representative modes for magnetic research conclusions and observed a pronounced Raman spectroscopy background featuring a broad continuum at all Ts. A quantitative analysis reveals spin fluctuations on a picosecond time scale in the intermediate phase.
