Refining the Spin Hamiltonian in the Spin-1/2 Kagome Lattice Antiferromagnet ZnCu[subscript 3](OH)[subscript 6]Cl[subscript 2] Using Single Crystals

We report thermodynamic measurements of the S=1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet ZnCu[subscript 3](OH)[subscript 6]Cl[subscript 2], a promising candidate system with a spin-liquid ground state. Using single crystal samples, the magnetic susceptibility both perpendicular and parallel to the kagome pl...
