Weakly coupled triangles forming a star lattice in an organic-inorganic copper sulfate — •Oleg Janson1, Ulrich K. Rößler1, and Hajime Ishikawa2 — 1Leibniz IFW Dresden, Germany — 2ISSP, University of Tokyo, Japan
The recently synthesized organic-inorganic copper sulfate [(CH3)2(NH2)]3[Cu3(OH)(SO4)4]·0.24H2O has been proposed as a material realization of the S=1/2 star lattice model [1]. We report high-field magnetization measured on powder samples showing a broad plateau at 1/3 of the saturation magnetization. Full saturation was reached at about 105 T in a destructive pulsed-field experiment. Low-field and low-temperature measurements on single crystals show no indications of magnetic ordering and reveal a sizable anisotropy of magnetization. Density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations indicate the relevance of two inequivalent exchanges JT and JD with JT≫JD, placing this material in the limit of weakly coupled triangles. Anisotropic components of JT were estimated by noncollinear DFT+U calculations. We demonstrate that a simple model of isolated triangles accounts for the thermodynamic behavior of this compound.
