Kagome-lattices are promising materials to investigate frustrated quantum spin systems with a possible quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground state[1]. High-quality single crystals are essential to distinguish between disordered magnetic ground-states and a true QSL.
We report on synthesis and characterization of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnet material Barlowite (Cu4(OH)6BrF), which represents a model system for two-dimensional kagome-layered structures[2]. The kagome-layers are build up by copper ions and separated from each other through a transition-metal cation, so that a quasi-two-dimensional system is created[3].
Crystals were grown under hydrothermal conditions. Characterization of the samples was done by magnetic measurements to determine the susceptibility and magnetic ordering. Furthermore heat capacity measurements were performed to investigate phase transitions and ordering effects at low temperature.
