摘要:

用高分辨非弹性中子散射测量了多铁性$\rm MnWO_4$在低温共线公度相中的自旋波激发。这些激发可以很好地描述海森堡模型与竞争的长程交换相互作用和单离子各向异性项。Z形自旋链中沿c轴的磁相互作用和沿a轴的链间磁相互作用均强烈受挫,而沿b轴的自旋耦合则弱得多。这些相互作用的平衡导致与磁电效应相关的非共线无公度自旋结构,并且磁相互作用的扰动导致观察到的化学掺杂材料的丰富相图。这种微妙的平衡也可以通过施加外部电场或磁场来调节,以实现对这种类型材料的磁电控制。

英文摘要:

The spin-wave excitations of the multiferroic $\rm MnWO_4$ have been measured in its low-temperature collinear commensurate phase using high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering. These excitations can be well described by a Heisenberg model with competing long-range exchange interactions and a single-ion anisotropy term. The magnetic interactions are strongly frustrated within the zigzag spin chain along c axis and between chains along the a axis, while the coupling between spin along the b axis is much weaker. The balance of these interactions results in the noncollinear incommensurate spin structure associated with the magnetoelectric effect, and the perturbation of the magnetic interactions leads to the observed rich phase diagrams of the chemically-doped materials. This delicate balance can also be tuned by the application of external electric or magnetic fields to achieve magnetoelectric control of this type of materials.
