AB - The structure and magnetic properties are studied in co-doped Cs2−xKxCuBr4−xClxand pressurized Cs2CuBr4 samples. No structural phase transition is found with doping concentration x ⩽ 0.1 and pre-compression pressure up to 4.5 GPa. The maximum susceptibility temperature Tmax of the zero-field-cooling (ZFC) susceptibility curves decreases slightly with increasing doping concentration and pre-compression pressure, indicating only small changes in the exchange coupling constants. However, an unusual enhancement of the magnetic moment deduced from the ZFC susceptibility is observed in both series samples. A maximum increase of 40% is obtained in Cs1.9K0.1CuBr3.9Cl0.1 sample. The magnetic moment increases almost linearly with decreasing Δ, i.e., defined as the wavenumber difference between the short- and long-bond stretching modes of the CuBr42− tetrahedra in the Raman spectra. The effect is likely due to the recovery of the Cu-3d orbital magnetic moments by strain-induced suppression of Jahn–Teller distortion in CuBr42− tetrahedra.
