摘要:

利用太赫兹(THz)时域光谱技术,在Gd $_{0.7}$ Tb $_{0.3}$ MnO $_3$的铁电体$ab$螺旋自旋相中观察到一个宽的类连续谱(1- 10 meV),其峰值结构在2.4 meV附近.一套完整的光偏振测量的基础上,我们确定的自旋激发活动的光$E$矢量仅沿a轴,它的强度随着温度的降低,甚至从以上的磁有序温度的增长,但消失后过渡到$A$型反铁磁相。在太赫兹频率下观察到的这种电偶极主动自旋激发可以归因于在各种磁有序相中的独特极化选择规则方面的双磁振子激发。

英文摘要:

A broad continuum-like spin excitation (1--10 meV) with a peak structure around 2.4 meV has been observed in the ferroelectric $ab$ spiral spin phase of Gd$_{0.7}$Tb$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ by using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy. Based on a complete set of light-polarization measurements, we identify the spin excitation active for the light $E$ vector only along the a-axis, which grows in intensity with lowering temperature even from above the magnetic ordering temperature but disappears upon the transition to the $A$-type antiferromagnetic phase. Such an electric-dipole active spin excitation as observed at THz frequencies can be ascribed to the two-magnon excitation in terms of the unique polarization selection rule in a variety of the magnetically ordered phases.
