Phonon - Magnon coupling in YMnO 3 crystal

چکیده
and Resume Abstract In this thesis we investigate possible phonon-magnon coupling in a magnetically frustrated multiferroic crystal; YMnO3. This is done using inelastic neutron scattering on two triple-axis spectrometers; RITA2 and EIGER, stationed at the neutron source SINQ, PSI, Switzerland. Resent research has showed anomalous shifts in thermal conductivity (κ), magnetic susceptibility (χ) and heat capacity (C), as the YMnO3 crystal undergoes an antiferromagnetic phase transition at its magnetic phase transition temperature, TN . This behaviour can be understood as critical spin scattering of phonons in the phase transition region [3]. Our experiments show an avoided crossing of the phonon and magnon branch in our crystal, aswell as a shift in phonon width around the avoided crossing point, and around the magnetic phase transition. Resume I denne rapport har vi undersøgt hypotesen om phonon-magnon kobling i det magnetisk frustreret multiferroiske materiale; YMnO3. Dette har vi gjort ved at anvende uelastisk neutron spredning på to triple-akse spektrometre; RITA2 og EIGER, lokaliseret ved neutronkilden SINQ, PSI, Schweiz. Den seneste forskning har vist kraftige ændringer i specifik varmeledningsevne (κ), magnetisk susceptibilitet (χ) og varmekapacitet (C), når YMnO3 gennemgår en antiferromagnetisk overgang ved dens magnetiske faseovergangstemperatur, TN . Denne opførsel kan forstås som kritisk spin spredning af phononerne ved den kritiske faseovergang [3]. Vores eksperiment viser at phononog magnongrenene undgår at krydse hinanden, samt en ændring i phonon bredden omkring dette krydspunkt, og omkring den magnetiske faseovergang.

Magnetic properties of „VO...2P2O7: Two-plane structure and spin-phonon interactions
Detailed experiments on single-crystal ~VO!2P2O7 continue to reveal new and unexpected features. We show that a model composed of two, independent planes of spin chains with frustrated magnetic coupling is consistent with nuclear-magnetic-resonance and inelastic-neutron-scattering measurements. The pivotal role of PO4 groups in mediating intrachain exchange interactions explains both the presen...
متن کاملMagnon damping by magnon-phonon coupling in manganese perovskites
Inelastic neutron scattering was used to systematically investigate the spin-wave excitations ~magnons! in ferromagnetic manganese perovskites. In spite of the large differences in the Curie temperatures (TC’s! of different manganites, their low-temperature spin waves have very similar dispersions with the zone-boundary magnon softening and broadening that cannot be explained by the canonical d...
متن کاملApplication of Raman microscopy for spin-phonon coupling and magnon excitation study in nanocrystals
There is a wild variety of Raman scattering techniques which may be used for characterization of phononphonon and spin-phonon interaction in nanocrystals. For magnetic nanocrystals, Raman microscopy is a useful tool to probe the spin-phonon coupling and exchange energy between antiferromagnetic next-nearestneighboring magnons in nanocrystals below the Néel temperature. This study shows that mul...

Magnon linewidth of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 near the Brillouin zone boundary is investigated from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Abrupt magnon broadening is ascribed to a strong magnon-phonon coupling. Magnon broadening observed in cubic perovskite manganites is also discussed.
متن کاملCavity magnomechanics
A dielectric body couples with electromagnetic fields through radiation pressure and electrostrictive forces, which mediate phonon-photon coupling in cavity optomechanics. In a magnetic medium, according to the Korteweg-Helmholtz formula, which describes the electromagnetic force density acting on a medium, magneostrictive forces should arise and lead to phonon-magnon interaction. We report suc...
