Title: Raman scattering from one and two magnons in magnetoelectric ${LiNiPO}_{4}$

Abstract

Polarized Raman scattering in magnetoelectric LiNiPO₄ shows a sharp resonant peak at 37 cm^-1 in the magnetically ordered phase, originating from a one-magnon excitation of Ni²⁺ S = 1 localized moments at the zone center. Also, a broad component with maximum intensity at ~ 65 cm^-1 is observed and successfully modeled in terms of light scattering from two-magnon excitations within the framework of the Fleury-Loudon theory using five relevant exchange parameters, providing an independent experimental confirmation of their values previously obtained with inelastic neutron scattering data in this material. An additional peak at 58 cm^-1, already reported in previous works, shows no detectable Zeeman splitting for magnetic fields up to 6 T along the crystallographic a and c directions, excluding one-magnon scattering as a possible assignment for this peak. The possible nature of this excitation is discussed.

Field-induced reentrant magnetoelectric phase in ${LiNiPO}_{4}$

Journal Article Toft-Petersen, Rasmus ; Fogh, Ellen ; Kihara, Takumi ; ... - Physical Review B

Using pulsed magnetic fields up to 30 T we have measured the bulk magnetization and electrical polarization of LiNiPO₄ and have studied its magnetic structure by time-of-flight neutron Laue diffraction. Our data establish the existence of a reentrant magnetoelectric phase between 19 T and 21 T. We show that a magnetized version of the zero field commensurate structure explains the magnetoelectric response quantitatively. The stability of this structure suggests a field-dependent spin anisotropy. Above 21 T , a magnetoelectrically inactive, short-wavelength incommensurate structure is identified. Lastly, our results demonstrate the combination of pulsed fields with epithermal neutron Laue diffraction asmore »« less

Dirac Magnons in a Honeycomb Lattice Quantum $XY$ Magnet ${CoTiO}_{3}$

Journal Article Yuan, Bo ; Khait, Ilia ; Shu, Guo-Jiun ; ... - Physical Review. X

The discovery of massless Dirac electrons in graphene and topological Dirac-Weyl materials has prompted a broad search for bosonic analogues of such Dirac particles. Recent experiments have found evidence for Dirac magnons above an Ising-like ferromagnetic ground state in a two-dimensional (2D) kagome lattice magnet and in the van der Waals layered honeycomb crystal CrI₃, and in a 3D Heisenberg magnet Cu₃TeO₆. Here, we report our inelastic neutron scattering investigation on a large single crystal of a stacked honeycomb lattice magnet CoTiO₃, which is part of a broad family of ilmenite materials. The magnetically ordered ground state of CoTiO₃ featuresmore »« less

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering studies of magnons and bimagnons in the lightly doped cuprate ${La}_{2 - x} {Sr}_{x} {CuO}_{4}$

Journal Article Chaix, L. ; Huang, E. W. ; Gerber, S. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, we investigated the doping dependence of magnetic excitations in the lightly doped cuprate La_2-xSr_xCuO₄ via combined studies of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Cu L₃ edge and theoretical calculations. With increasing doping, the magnon dispersion is found to be essentially unchanged, but the spectral width broadens and the spectral weight varies differently at different momenta. Near the Brillouin zone center, we directly observe bimagnon excitations that possess the same energy scale and doping dependence as previously observed by Raman spectroscopy. They disperse weakly in energy-momentum space, and they are consistent with a bimagnon dispersion that is renormalizedmore »« less

Resonant two-magnon Raman scattering in parent compounds of high-{ital T}{sub {ital c}} superconductors

Journal Article Chubukov, A V ; P. L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, Moscow ; Frenkel, D M ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

We propose a theory of two-magnon Raman scattering from the insulating parent compounds of high-{ital T}{sub {ital c}} superconductors, which contains information not only on magnetism, but also on the electronic properties in these materials. We use spin-density-wave formalism for the Hubbard model, and study diagrammatically the profile of the two-magnon scattering and its intensity dependence on the incoming photon frequency {omega}{sub {ital i}} both for {omega}{sub {ital i}}{much_lt}{ital U} and in the resonant regime, in which the energy of the incident photon is close to the gap between conduction and valence bands. In the nonresonant case, we identify themore »« less

Highly dispersive magnons with spin-gap-like features in the frustrated ferromagnetic $S = \frac{1}{2}$ chain compound ${Ca}_{2} Y_{2} {Cu}_{5} O_{10}$ detected by inelastic neutron scattering

Journal Article Matsuda, Masaaki ; Ma, Jie ; Garlea, Vasile O. ; ... - Physical Review B

In this paper, we report inelastic neutron scattering experiments in Ca₂Y₂Cu₅O₁₀ and map out the full one-magnon dispersion which extends up to a record value of 53 meV for frustrated ferromagnetic (FM) edge-sharing CuO₂ chain (FFESC) cuprates. A homogeneous spin-1/2 chain model with a FM nearest-neighbor (NN), an antiferromagnetic (AFM) next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) inchain, and two diagonal AFM interchain couplings (ICs) analyzed within linear spin-wave theory (LSWT) reproduces well the observed strong dispersion along the chains and a weak one perpendicularly. The ratio α=|J_a2/J_a1| of the FM NN and the AFM NNN couplings is found as ~0.23, close to the critical point α_c=1/4 which separates ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically correlated spiral magnetic ground states in single chains, whereas α_c>0.25 for coupled chains is considerably upshifted even for relatively weak IC. Although the measured dispersion can be described by homogeneous LSWT, the scattering intensity appears to be considerably reduced at ~11.5 and ~28 meV. The gaplike feature at 11.5 meV is attributed to magnon-phonon coupling whereas based on density matrix renormalization group simulations of the dynamical structure factor the gap at 28 meV is considered to stem partly from quantum effects due to the AFM IC. Another contribution to that gap is ascribed to the intrinsic superstructure from the distorting incommensurate pattern of CaY cationic chains adjacent to the CuO₂ ones. It gives rise to nonequivalent CuO₄ units and Cu-O-Cu bond angles Φ and a resulting distribution of all exchange integrals. The J's fitted by homogeneous LSWT are regarded as average values. The record value of the FM NN integral J₁=24 meV among FFESC cuprates can be explained by a nonuniversal Φ(≠90°) and Cu-O bond length dependent anisotropic mean direct FM Cu-O exchangemore »« less
