Magnetic transition in the $J_{\text{eff}}=1/2$ Kagomé system Sm${}_3$Sb${}_3$Zn${}_2$O${}_{14}$

Abstract

We present a study of Sm${}_3$Sb${}_3$Zn${}_2$O${}_{14}$ (SSZO) through magnetization and specific heat capacity $C_p(T)$ measurements. SSZO contains well separated planes of Sm${}^{3+}$ magnetic ions on a Kagomé lattice. Though our magnetic susceptibility (where the data are limited down to 2\,K) does not show any anomaly, the $C_p(T)$ data which have been taken down to 0.35 K reveal a broad maximum at $T\sim 1.5$\,K followed by a sharp peak at $T\sim 0.5$\,K indicative of short-range correlations and long-range order, respectively.
