Abstract

This paper reviews experimental results concerning magnetic anisotropy in geometrically frustrated kagome staircase lattices. Following problems are discussed: high-temperature susceptibility measurements of kagome single crystals; inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Co 3V 2O 8 single crystals; EPR of Co 2+ ions in kagome staircase Mg 3V 2O 8 single crystals. The single-ion anisotropy Hamiltonian is used to analyze experimental results. It is suggested that the magnetic anisotropy in kagome staircase M 3V 2O 8 (M=Co, Ni, Mn) oxides has mainly single-ion origin.
