Abstract:
Ho3ScO6 harbors a frustrated maple leaf lattice (MLL). It crystalizes in the Mg3TeO6-type structure and has a centrosymmetric trigonal space group (R3). This system contains stacked layers of magnetic rings along the c axis consisting of six magnetic Ho3+ ions forming Ho hexagons, which are connected into a two-dimensional network by equilateral and isosceles triangles to form a rare example of a MLL. Long-range magnetic order is reached below TN = 4.1 K with a 120◦ spin arrangement on the equilateral triangles, resulting in a positive vector chirality ground state configuration.
