Query: The monoclinic crystal structure of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ and the zigzag
  antiferromagnetic ground state   The layered honeycomb magnet alpha-RuCl3 has been proposed as a candidate to
realize a Kitaev spin model with strongly frustrated, bond-dependent,
anisotropic interactions between spin-orbit entangled jeff=1/2 Ru4+ magnetic
moments. Here we report a detailed study of the three-dimensional crystal
structure using x-ray diffraction on untwinned crystals combined with
structural relaxation calculations. We consider several models for the stacking
of honeycomb layers and find evidence for a crystal structure with a monoclinic
unit cell corresponding to a stacking of layers with a unidirectional in-plane
offset, with occasional in-plane sliding stacking faults, in contrast with the
currently-assumed trigonal 3-layer stacking periodicity. We report electronic
band structure calculations for the monoclinic structure, which find support
for the applicability of the jeff=1/2 picture once spin orbit coupling and
electron correlations are included. We propose that differences in the
magnitude of anisotropic exchange along symmetry inequivalent bonds in the
monoclinic cell could provide a natural mechanism to explain the spin gap
observed in powder inelastic neutron scattering, in contrast to spin models
based on the three-fold symmetric trigonal structure, which predict a gapless
spectrum within linear spin wave theory. Our susceptibility measurements on
both powders and stacked crystals, as well as neutron powder diffraction show a
single magnetic transition at TN ~ 13K. The analysis of the neutron data
provides evidence for zigzag magnetic order in the honeycomb layers with an
antiferromagnetic stacking between layers. Magnetization measurements on
stacked single crystals in pulsed field up to 60T show a single transition
around 8T for in-plane fields followed by a gradual, asymptotic approach to
magnetization saturation, as characteristic of strongly anisotropic exchange
interactions.
