Abstract

Realisation of the tetragonal phase of Cs2CuCl4Cs_2CuCl_4 is possible using specific crystal growth conditions at a temperature below 281K281K. This work deals with the comparison of the magnetic susceptibility and the magnetization of this new tetragonal compound with the magnetic behaviour of tetragonal Cs2CuCl2.9Br1.1Cs_2CuCl_{2.9}Br_{1.1}, Cs2CuCl2.5Br1.5Cs_2CuCl_{2.5}Br_{1.5}, Cs2CuCl2.2Br1.8Cs_2CuCl_{2.2}Br_{1.8} and presents consistent results for such quasi 2D2-D antiferromagnets. Structural investigation at low temperature for Cs2CuCl2.2Br1.8Cs_2CuCl_{2.2}Br_{1.8} shows no phase transition. The structure remains in the tetragonal symmetry I4/mmmI4/mmm. Furthermore, several magnetic reflections corresponding to the propagation vector k=(0,0,0)k = (0, 0, 0) are observed for this tetragonal compound through neutron diffraction experiments below the magnetic phase transition at TN=11.3KT_N = 11.3K confirming its antiferromagnetic nature.
