摘要
In this combined experimental and theoretical paper, we study the properties of Cu3Sm(SeO3)(2)O2Cl belonging to the francisite family of compounds, which are novel frustrated layered compounds. Cu3Sm(SeO3)(2)O2Cl is synthesized through a solid state reaction. Characterizations through measurements of magnetization, specific heat, X-band electron spin resonance, and rare-earth optical spectroscopy, establish that the compound orders antiferromagnetically at T-N = 35 K and undergoes a spin-reorientation phase transition at T-C = 8.5 K due to the interplay of anisotropies in transition metal and rare-earth subsystems. The ground state Kramers doublet of Sm is found to split only at T < T-C when the exchange field is aligned along the nonzero component of its g factor. Prior to full saturation with M-s <= 3 mu B/f.u., which is reached under application of moderate magnetic field, the magnetization is found to exhibit complicated hysteresis behavior related to field-induced metamagnetic phase transitions. The first principles calculations reveal the hierarchy of exchange interaction parameters in the kagome-type magnetic subsystem of Cu3Sm(SeO3)(2)O2Cl.
