We have studied the magnetic properties of the
spin-tetrahedra systems Cu2Te2O5X2(X=Cl, Br) by means of
magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and Raman scattering. An analysis
of the magnetic susceptibility χ(T) shows a large singlet-triplet
spin gap Δ≈40 K. Furthermore, evidence for a magnetic
instability exists for T≈10 K in χ(T) and in the specific
heat. The magnetic excitation spectrum investigated by light scattering
experiments shows a broad continuum at 2Δ and a soft mode at
smaller energies. Theoretical studies reveal the significance of the
dimensionality and the inter-tetrahedra coupling for the ground state and
the excitation spectrum of this peculiar spin topology.
