Negative-chirality order in S = 1/2 kagome antiferromagnet CdCu3(OH)6(NO3)2·H2O

Abstract:
Neutron diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been used to analyze the magnetic structure in the S = 1 2 kagome antiferromagnet CdCu 3 ( OH ) 6 ( NO 3 ) 2 ⋅ H 2 O . Below the magnetic ordering temperature T N ≃ 4 K , magnetic Bragg reflections at (101) and (100) were found in the neutron diffraction pattern, which suggests a q = 0 magnetic structure. Furthermore, the vector spin chirality for the q = 0 structure was successfully identified from the internal field direction obtained by the 14 N -NMR measurement, previous magnetization measurements, and magnetic symmetry analysis. Our findings point to a chirality-ordered magnetic structure with negative vector chirality and ⟨ 100 ⟩ anisotropy.
