Abstract

Using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques with and without application of an external magnetic field H, the magnetic ground states of ZnxCo4-x(OD)6Cl2 (x=0,1) were studied. Our results show that for x=0, the ground state is a magnetic long ¿range ordered (LRO) state where each tetrahedron forms an ¿umbrella¿-type structure. On the other hand, for x=1, no static ordering was observed down to 1.5K, which resembles the behavior found in the isostructural quantum system ZnxCu4-x(OD)6Cl2. When H field is applied, however the x=1 system develops the same LRO state as x = 0. This indicates that the x = 1 disordered state is in the vicinity of the x= 0 ordered state.
