The Synthesis, Structure and Intercalation Properties of Fluormica Clays
We show that fluormica clays with compositions close to Sr0.75Mg2.75(AlSi3)O10F2 may possess a novel two dimensional kagome magnetic structure when Sr is exchanged for magnetic ions and we report the first synthesis of such a host clay and its magnetic intercalation compounds. The synthesis, structural and intercalation properties of these compounds will be described.
