摘要: We synthesized single crystals of the new hexagonal compounds A2Cu3SnF12 with A=Cs and Rb, investigated their magnetic properties. These are composed Kagom? layers corner-sharing CuF6-octahedra. Cs2Cu3SnF12 has proper layer at room temperature, undergoes structural phase transition Tt ? 185 K. The temperature dependence susceptibility in agrees well result numerical calculation for S = 1/2 two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet down to nearest exchange interaction J/kB 240 Although deviates from calculated below T < Tt, rounded maxima were observed approximately (1/6)J/kB as predicted by theory. three-dimensional ordering TN 20 Rb2Cu3SnF12 layer, whose unit cell is enlarged 2a compared even temperature. From viewpoint crystal structure, interactions between neighbor Cu2+-ions classified into four kinds. high-field magnetization measurements, it was found that ground state a disordered singlet spin gap, recent Exact diagonalization method 12-site cluster performed analyze susceptibility. By comparing results experimental data, individual evaluated.
