Incommensurate magnetism in the coupled spin tetrahedra system Cu₂Te₂O₅Cl₂

Neutron scattering studies on powder and single crystals have provided new evidences for unconventional magnetism in Cu₂Te₂O₅Cl₂. The compound is built from tetrahedral clusters of S = 1/2 Cu²⁺ spins located on a tetragonal lattice. Magnetic ordering, emerging at TN = 18.2 K, leads to a very comp...
