We present a detailed experimental and theoretical study of the
frustrated s = 12 spin-compound linarite,
PbCuSO4(OH)2, with competing ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor
and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions.
Our experimental data are described using various theoretical
approaches to obtain the magnetic exchange interactions. These
main intrachain interactions are significantly larger as those
derived previously [1, 2], causing a shift of the frustration
ratio α ≈ 0.36 closer to the 1D critical point. ESR
and NMR at elevated temperatures indicate a highly frustrated
system with the onset of magnetic correlations far above the
magnetic ordering temperature TN = 2.8 K into a spin spiral
ground state. Linarite shows a complex magnetic phase diagram with
small saturation field, which makes it a prototype for
investigating the recently predicted spin multipolar order close
to the saturation field for such spin-chain compounds.
