    This contains the data underpinning our recent paper on rouaite, Cu₂⁢(OH)₃⁢NO₃, published in Phys. Rev. B 110, 054442 (2024). The abstract of the article is reproduced below: Spinon-magnon mixing was recently reported in botallackite Cu2⁢(OH)3⁢Br with a uniaxially compressed triangular lattice of Cu2+ quantum spins [H. Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 037204 (2020)]. Its nitrate counterpart rouaite, Cu2⁢(OH)3⁢NO3, has a highly analogous structure and might be expected to exhibit similar physics. To lay a foundation for research on this material, we clarify rouaite's magnetic phase diagram and identify both low-field phases. The low-temperature magnetic state consists of alternating ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic chains, as in botallackite, but with additional canting, leading to net moments on all chains which rotate from one chain to another to form a 90∘ cycloidal pattern. The higher-temperature phase is a helical modulation of this order, wherein the spins rotate from one Cu plane to the next. This extends to zero temperature for fields perpendicular to the chains, leading to a set of low-temperature field-induced phase transitions. Rouaite may offer another platform for spinon-magnon mixing, while our results suggest a delicate balance of interactions and high tunability of the magnetism.

    Data Underpinning: Incommensurate and multiple-q magnetic misfit order in the frustrated quantum spin ladder material antlerite
    (Technische Universität Dresden, 2024-11-28) Kulbakov, Anton A.; Sadrollahi, Elaheh; Rasch, Florian; Avdeev, Maxim; Gaß, Sebastian; Corredor Bohorquez, Laura Teresa; Wolter, Anja U. B.; Feig, Manuel; Gumeniuk, Roman; Poddig, Hagen; Stötzer, Markus; Litterst, F. Jochen; Puente-Orench, Inés; Wildes, Andrew; Weschke, Eugen; Geck, Jochen; Inosov, Dmytro S.; Peets, Darren Campbell
    This contains the data underpinning our recent paper on antlerite, Cu₃⁢SO₄(OH)₄, published in Phys. Rev. B 106, 174431 (2022). The abstract of the article is reproduced here: In frustrated magnetic systems, the competition amongst interactions can introduce extremely high degeneracy and prevent the system from readily selecting a unique ground state. In such cases, the magnetic order is often exquisitely sensitive to the balance among the interactions, allowing tuning among novel magnetically ordered phases. In antlerite, Cu3⁢SO4⁢(OH)4, Cu2+ (𝑆=1/2) quantum spins populate three-leg zigzag ladders in a highly frustrated quasi-one-dimensional structural motif. We demonstrate that at zero applied field, in addition to its recently reported low-temperature phase of coupled ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin chains, this mineral hosts an incommensurate helical+cycloidal state, an idle-spin state, and a multiple-𝑞 phase which is the magnetic analog of misfit crystal structures. The antiferromagnetic order on the central leg is reentrant. The high tunability of the magnetism in antlerite makes it a particularly promising platform for pursuing exotic magnetic order.
