Electromagnons in multiferroic YMn2O5 and TbMn2O5.

چکیده
Based on temperature dependent far infrared transmission spectra of YMn2O5 and TbMn2O5 single crystals, we report the observation of electric dipole-active magnetic excitations, or electromagnons, in these multiferroics. Electromagnons are found to be directly responsible for the steplike anomaly of the static dielectric constant at the commensurate--incommensurate magnetic transition and are the origin of the colossal magneto-dielectric effect reported in these multiferroics.

Landau Analysis of the Symmetry of the Magnetic Structure and Magnetoelectric Interaction in Multiferroics
This paper presents a detailed instruction manual for constructing the Landau expansion for magnetoelectric coupling in incommensurate ferroelectric magnets, including Ni3V2O8, TbMnO3, MnWO4, TbMn2O5, YMn2O5, CuFeO2, and RbFe(MO4)2. The first step is to describe the magnetic ordering in terms of symmetry adapted coordinates which serve as complex-valued magnetic order parameters whose transform...
متن کاملStructural anomalies and multiferroic behavior in magnetically frustrated TbMn2O5.
We have studied the magnetostructural phase diagram of multiferroic TbMn2O5 as a function of temperature and magnetic field by neutron diffraction. Dielectric and magnetic anomalies are found to be associated with steps in the magnetic propagation vector, including a rare example of a commensurate-incommensurate transition on cooling below 24 K, and in the structural parameters. The geometrical...
متن کاملHigh-temperature electromagnons in the magnetically induced multiferroic cupric oxide driven by intersublattice exchange.
Magnetically induced ferroelectric multiferroics present an exciting new paradigm in the design of multifunctional materials, by intimately coupling magnetic and polar order. Magnetoelectricity creates a novel quasiparticle excitation--the electromagnon--at terahertz frequencies, with spectral signatures that unveil important spin interactions. To date, electromagnons have been discovered at lo...
متن کاملFar - infrared optical excitations in multiferroic TbMnO 3
We provide a detailed study of the reflectivity of multiferroic TbMnO3 for wave numbers from 40 cm −1 to 1000 cm −1 and temperatures 5 K < T < 300 K. Excitations are studied for polarization directions E a, the polarization where electromagnons are observed, and for E c, the direction of the spontaneous polarization in this material. The temperature dependencies of eigenfrequencies, damping con...
متن کاملMagnetic excitations in the low-temperature ferroelectric phase of multiferroic YMn2O5 using inelastic neutron scattering.
We studied magnetic excitations in a low-temperature ferroelectric phase of the multiferroic YMn(2)O(5) using inelastic neutron scattering (INS). We identify low-energy magnon modes and establish a correspondence between the magnon peaks observed by INS and electromagnon peaks observed in optical absorption [A. B. Sushkov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 027202 (2007).]. Furthermore, we explain the...
