Spectral signatures of spin–phonon and electron–phonon interactions in multiferroic iron borates
High-resolution far-infrared reflection and polarized ellipsometry, as well as Raman scattering temperature-dependent measurements are used to study spin-phonon and electron-phonon interactions in rare-earth (RE) iron borates with the R32 structure of a natural mineral huntite, namely, in RFe3(BO3)4 with R1⁄4Pr, Nd, and Sm. Pronounced peculiarities in the ω(T) dependences at the Néel temperatur...
متن کاملSymmetry and light coupling to phononic and collective magnetic excitations in SrCu2„BO3...2
We perform a low temperature Raman scattering study of phononic and collective spin excitations in the orthogonal dimers compound SrCu2!BO3"2, focusing on the symmetry and the effects of external fields on the magnetic modes. The zero field symmetry and the behavior in magnetic fields of the elementary and bound magnetic triplet states are experimentally determined. We find that a minimal 4-spi...
متن کاملHeat transport in SrCu2(BO3)2 and CuGeO3
In the low dimensional spin systems SrCu2(BO3)2 and CuGeO3 the thermal conductivities along different crystal directions show pronounced double-peak structures and strongly depend on magnetic fields. For SrCu2(BO3)2 the experimental data can be described by a purely phononic heat current and resonant scattering of phonons by magnetic excitations. A similar effect seems to be important in CuGeO3...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent Raman study of a CeFeAsO(0.9)F(0.1) superconductor: crystal field excitations, phonons and their coupling.
We report temperature-dependent Raman spectra of CeFeAsO(0.9)F(0.1) from 4 to 300 K in the spectral range of 60-1800 cm(-1) and interpret them using estimates of phonon frequencies obtained from first-principles density functional calculations. We find evidence for strong coupling between the phonons and crystal field excitations; in particular the Ce(3 + ) crystal field excitation at 432 cm(-1...
متن کاملThe coupling of phonons to magnetic excitations in a system with two singlet levels
— It is shown that the magnetic excitations of a system having two singlet levels give rise to velocity shifts of longitudinal phonons in both the ordered and paramagnetic phase of the system. The effect in the latter regime extends over a temperature range of order of the separation between the levels. The velocity shift of transverse phonons is confined to the ordered region only, where it is...
