Comment on "Field-driven phase transitions in a quasi-two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet"

In a recent publication [M. B. Stone et al., New Journal of Physics 9, 31 (2007)] a "Renormalized Classical 2D" (RC) phase has been reported in a quasi-two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet PHCC. Its key signature is a sharp cusp-like feature in the magnetic susceptibility which appears below the critical field of magnetic ordering indicated by specific heat anomaly and emergence of a Bragg peak. Here we present experimental data which shows that regardless of experimental geometry, the specific heat and susceptibility anomalies in PHCC both coincide with the onset of true long range order. This leaves no room for any additional intermediate "RC" phase.
