We present a combined neutron diffraction, NMR and bulk thermodynamic study of the natural mineral linarite PbCuSO4(OH)2. An incommensurate magnetic ordering with a propagation vector k=(0,0.186,1/2) was found below TN=2.8 K in a zero magnetic field. The analysis of the neutron diffraction data yields an elliptical helical structure. From detailed investigations of linarite in magnetic fields up to 12 T, applied along the chain direction, a very rich magnetic phase diagram is established, with multiple field-induced phases, and possibly short-range-order effects occurring in high fields. Our data establish linarite as a model compound of the frustrated one-dimensional spin chain, with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions. Long-range magnetic order is brought about by interchain coupling one order of magnitude smaller than the intrachain coupling.
