摘要

Structure and magnetic properties of the rhombohedral-structure compound Co_2(OH)_3Br, a member of the geometrically frustrated series of the compounds M_2(OH)_3X where the magnetic ions form a deformed pyrochlore lattice, were studied using dc and ac magnetic susceptibilities, heat-capacity, neutron powder-diffraction, and muon-spin-rotation/-relaxation (μSR) measurements. The structure of Co_2(OH)_3Br is featured by alternatively stacked layers of perfect kagome-lattice planes and triangular-lattice planes with a 10% distortion along the stacking direction (the c axis). Despite a very small difference in the distortion [0.42% larger in Co_2(OH)_3Br], Co_2(OH)_3Br was found to show contrasting antiferromagnetism that is strikingly different from the previously reported ferromagnetic Co_2(OH)_3Cl. Successive antiferromagnetic transition was observed at TN1=6.2 K and TN2=4.8 K, respectively. The antiferromagnetic ground state is metastable and an intermediate magnetic phase was induced by applying a relatively low magnetic field of H~ 5 kOe. When the field was further increased above H~20 kOe spin reorientation occurred to form a configuration similar to ferromagnetic Co_2(OH)_3Cl. The successive antiferromagnetic transitions in zero field were found to occur with propagation vector of k1 = (0 -1/2 1/2) at TN1 and an additional k_2=(0 0 3/2) at T_(N2). Refinement of the neutron powder-diffraction patterns revealed an unconventional multi-K and noncoplanar spin structure for the antiferromagnetic phases. Multiple measurements, in particular, the μSR study, consistently demonstrated magnetic coupling at high temperatures, and persistent fluctuations well below the T_N. This work presents a unique system to investigate the orbital effect and the critical role of lattice distortion in geometric frustration, and provides a single material system to study multiple phase transitions and competing exchange interactions.
