The natural mineral clinoatacamite (Cu2Cl(OH)3) has been discussed as geometrically frustrated magnet. The Cu2+ ions form a system of kagome layers with an antiferromagnetic in-plane coupling. This type of geometrical frustration leads to exotic quantum states at low temperatures. Here, we present an extensive study using single crystalline material that reveal a complex magnetic phase diagram of the material at low temperatures.

The measurements of the specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and magnetization as well as neutron scattering experiments indicate the existence of several magnetic phases. It is known that the uppermost magnetic phase has an ordering temperature of 18.1 K. The microscopic details of this phase are unknown. The lowest temperature phase exhibits signs of canted antiferromagnetism. Several exotic intermediate phases, whose microscopic behaviour is unclear, exist between these phases. From our data we construct the magnetic phase diagram for magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the kagome planes.
