Spin behaviors on kagome lattices have received increased attention because of their exotic magnetic states. Here, we report magnetic ordering in thekagome antiferromagnet. The compound has been synthesized by selectively replacing the magnetic ions in the triangular planes of its parent compound of deformed pyrochlorewith nonmagnetic Mg. Whereasshowed antiferromagnetic order belowwith persistent spin fluctuations,showed an antiferromagnetic transition at an enhancedvalue of 9.9 K. Susceptibility, high-field magnetization, and neutron-diffraction studies suggest thatis a Heisenberg-like spin system with anearest-neighbor spin structure confined in the kagome plane and spin-vector chirality ofbelow. Muon spin-rotation/-relaxation studies demonstrate that the persisting spin fluctuations are suppressed relative to. The present paper reports the experimental realization of ankagome antiferromagnet, highlighting a real system with a quasiclassical Heisenberg spin, which may also be a valuable reference system for quantum Heisenberg kagome antiferromagnets.
