Abstract

An unique crystal structure of copper hydroxyl-fluorite, Cu₃(OH)₂F₄, hosts the trimerized chains of both edge-sharing and corner-sharing CuO₂F₂ plaquettes. The results of the comprehensive study of this compound, including new synthetic route, measurements of specific heat, ac- and dc-susceptibility, pulsed field magnetization, electron spin resonance, muon spin rotation and relaxation and first principles calculations are presented. The data evidence magnetic phase transition at T_C = 12.5 K into canted antiferromagnetic state which is due to antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) exchange interaction. No alteration of DM component stemming from the intrinsic features of the crystal lattice in Cu₃(OH)₂F₄ results in unusually large spontaneous magnetization. At T < T_C, the remanence M_R constitutes significant portion of saturation magnetization M_S which defines the canting angle φ = 4°.
