Nuclear-Magnetic-Resonance Properties of the Staircase Kagome Antiferromagnet PbCu3TeO7

We report the first nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on single crystals of staircase Kagome antiferromagnet PbCu3Te07 (TN1 -36K). A Curie constant θ -140K is obtained by a Curie Weiss fit to the high- temperature Knight shift of 125 Te. The hyperfine coupling constant is estimated to be 125Ahf...

Summary:We report the first nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on single crystals of staircase Kagome antiferromagnet PbCu3Te07 (TN1 -36K). A Curie constant θ -140K is obtained by a Curie Weiss fit to the high- temperature Knight shift of 125 Te. The hyperfine coupling constant is estimated to be 125Ahf = -67 kOe/#B, and a strong interlayer coupling among staircase Kagome planes is suggested with such a large hyperfine coupling, according to the lattice structure. The 63,65Cu NMR spectra are found by the zero-field (ZF) NMR at T = 2 K, and the internal hyperfine fields are estimated to be 10.3 T and 9.6 T, for Cu(1) and Cu(2) sites, respectively, in the lattice. A second type of ZF NMFt signal with a large rf enhancement is also seen after field-cycling through a high magnetic field.
