A neutron diffraction and NMR study of the field induced phases of linarite PbCuSO4(OH)2 is presented for magnetic fields H ∥ b axis at temperatures down to 1.7 K. A two step spin flop transition is observed, transforming the helical magnetic ground state into a collinear structure. As well, a magnetic phase with sine-wave modulated moments parallel to the field direction was detected, enclosing the other long-range ordered phases. The propagation vector of this 3D spin density wave phase shifts with increasing magnetic field. Theoretical calculations imply that linarite possesses an xyz exchange anisotropy. Within this model a coexistence of 2-, 3-, and 4- magnon bound states is predicted to be present in linarite.
