Probing the magnetic and crystal structure of multiferroic boracite Cu3B7O13Cl
Abstract: Cu3B7O13Cl is a magnetic multiferroic member in the family of M3B7O13X (M=divalent metal; X=halogens). Single crystal sample shows a magnetic transition around 9K and below that another transition appears but we do not know its origin, it could be spin reorientation or structural transition. Whilst there are predictions made for this compound, the origin of the magnetoelectric coupling is still to be explored/confirmed experimentally. For this investigation, the first and most important step is to find out the arrangement of magnetic spins with respect to the crystal structure. Cu has low magnetic moment and B10 is a neutron absorbent and hence we are proposing here to perform a detailed powder neutron diffraction on a 10g B11 enriched Cu3B7O13Cl powder sample across the possible transitions identified by our bulk property measurements.
