dc.descriptionCa3Co2O6 is a system exhibiting a series of fascinating properties, including magnetization plateaus and remarkably slow dynamics at low-T. These properties are intimately related to the geometrical frustration, which results from a particular combination of features: (i) the chains are arranged on a triangular lattice; (ii) there is a large uniaxial anisotropy; (iii) the intrachain and interchain couplings are ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, respectively. The uniaxial anisotropy is thus an issue of crucial importance for the analysis of the physical properties of Ca3Co2O6. However, it turns out that no precise investigation of this magnetic anisotropy has been performed so far. On the basis of susceptibility data directly recorded on single crystals, the present study reports on quantitative information about the anisotropy of Ca3Co2O6.
