Barlowite, Cu$_{4}$(OH)$_{6}$FBr, has attracted much attention as the parent compound of a new series of quantum spin liquid candidates, Zn$_{x}$Cu$_{4-x}$(OH)$_{6}$FBr. While it is known to undergo a magnetic phase transition to a long-range ordered state at $T_{N} = 15$ K, there is still no consensus over either its nuclear or magnetic structures. Here, we use comprehensive powder neutron diffraction studies on deuterated samples of barlowite to demonstrate that the only space group consistent with the observed nuclear and magnetic diffraction at low-temperatures is the orthorhombic $Pnma$ space group. We furthermore conclude that the magnetic intensity at $T < T_{N}$ is correctly described by the $Pn^prime m^prime a$ magnetic space group, which crucially allows the ferromagnetic component observed in previous single-crystal and powder magnetisation measurements. As such, the magnetic structure of barlowite resembles that of the related material clinoatacamite, Cu$_{4}$(OH)$_{6}$Cl$_{2}$, the parent compound of the well-known quantum spin liquid candidate hebertsmithite, ZnCu$_{3}$(OH)$_{6}$Cl$_{2}$.
We have systematically studied the magnetic properties of Cu$_{4-x}$Zn$_x$(OH)$_6$FBr by the neutron diffraction and muon spin rotation and relaxation ($mu$SR) techniques. Neutron-diffraction measurements suggest that the long-range magnetic order an
Barlowite Cu$_4$(OH)$_6$FBr shows three-dimensional (3D) long-range antiferromagnetism, which is fully suppressed in Cu$_3$Zn(OH)$_6$FBr with a kagome quantum spin liquid ground state. Here we report systematic studies on the evolution of magnetism i
The effect of chemical substitution on the ground state of the geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet CsCrF$_4$ has been investigated through a neutron powder diffraction experiment. Magnetic Fe-substituted CsCr$_{0.94}$Fe$_{0.06}$F$_{4}$ and nonma
Spin-waves e.g. magnons are the conventional elementary excitations of ordered magnets. However, other possibilities exist. For instance, magnon bound-states can arise due to attractive magnon-magnon interactions and drastically impact the static and
We systematically study the low-temperature specific heats for the two-dimensional kagome antiferromagnet, Cu$_{3}$Zn(OH)$_6$FBr. The specific heat exhibits a $T^{1.7}$ dependence at low temperatures and a shoulder-like feature above it. We construct
