摘要

Barlowite Cu_4(OH)_6FBr is a newly found mineral containing Cu~(2+) kagome planes. Despite similarities in many aspects to herbertsmithite Cu_3Zn(OH)_6Cl_2, the well-known quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, intrinsic barlowite turns out not to be a QSL, possibly due to the presence of Cu~(2+) ions in between kagome planes that induce interkagome magnetic interaction [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 227203 (2014)]. Using first-principles calculation, we systematically study the feasibility of selective substitution of the interkagome Cu ions with isovalent nonmagnetic ions as a function of ion concentration up to the stoichiometric limit. Unlike previous speculation of using larger dopants, such as Cd~(2+) and Ca~(2+), we identify the most ideal stoichiometric doping elements to be Mg and Zn in forming Cu_3Mg(OH)_6FBr and Cu_3Zn(OH)_6FBr with the highest site selectivity and smallest lattice distortion. The equilibrium antisite disorder in Mg/Zn-doped barlowite is estimated to be one order of magnitude lower than that in herbertsmithite. The single-electron band structure and orbital component analysis show that the proposed selective doping effectively mitigates the difference between barlowite and herbertsmithite.
