Abstract
- Natural mineral Dioptase (Cu6Si6O18 ⋅ 6H2O) is an S = 1/2 antiferromagnet with a unique spin network which consists of helical chains along the c axis connected by inter chain exchange interactions. In order to study the ground state of dioptase, we have performed the magnetization measurement for B//c (easy axis) at 1.5 K and have found the spin-flop transition at 13 T. Moreover, the pressure effect of the magnetic susceptibility is investigated up to 1.78 GPa using the SQUID magnetometer where TN increased while the broad maximum reflecting the low dimensionality of the system decreased by pressure. The results will be discussed in connection with our previous antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) measurement results and the phase diagram obtained by Gros et al.
