Substitutions in Cu-based frustrated spin-systems: BaCuSi2O6 and ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 — •Pascal Puphal1, Denis Sheptyakov2, Natalija Van Well2, Raivo Stern3, Lars Postulka1, Bernd Wolf1, Michael Lang1, and Cornelius Krellner11Physikalisches Institut, Goethe Universität Frankfurt, Germany — 2PSI, Switzerland — 3National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics, Estonia

BaCuS2O6 is a spin dimer system presenting a 2D Bose-Einstein condensation of triplons at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. We present a structural analysis of the substituted system (Ba1−xSrx)CuSi2O6, which reveals a stable tetragonal crystal structure down to 2 K unlike its parent compound x = 0. We explore the structural details with low-temperature neutron and synchrotron powder diffraction, room-temperature NMR, as well as magnetic- and specific-heat measurements.

ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 is a highly frustrated kagomé system, which has a antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction of J = 17 meV, but no magnetic transition or long-range order has been observed down to T = 50 mK. We present first results of MxCu4−x(OH)6Cl2, with a three valent ion M, which should lead to a Dirac metal as proposed by I. I. Mazin et. al. [1]. We could synthesize a Paratacamite-type (x < 1), which shows a magnetic ordering below 6.5 K. This transition can be decreased with increasing x.
