Popis: Nabokoite family compounds ACu$_7$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$_5$Cl (A=Na, K, Cs, Rb) are candidates for the experimental realization of highly-frustrated 2D square kagome lattice (SKL). Their magnetic subsystem includes SKL layers decorated by additional copper ions. All members of this family are characterized by quite high Curie-Weiss temperatures ($\sim 80-200$ K), but magnetic ordering was reported only for Na and K compounds at a much lower temperatures below 4 K. We report here results of the study of high-frequency ($\sim 10$ GHz) dielectric properties of this family of compounds. Our study revealed presence of the strong dielectric anomaly both in the real and imaginary parts of high-frequency dielectric permittivity for Na and K compounds approx. 100 and 26 K, correspondingly, presumably related to antiferroelectric ordering. Additionally, much weaker anomalies were observed at approximately 5K indicating possible interplay of magnetic and lattice degrees of freedom. We discuss possible relation between the structure rearrangements accompanying dielectric anomalies and a delayed magnetic ordering in the nabokoite family compounds.
