摘要:

虽然在铁磁相中的La $_{0.7}$ Ca $_{0.3}$ MnO $_3$的自旋动力学已知是非常规的,但是先前的测量已经产生了关于自旋波激发的阻尼的矛盾结果。中子能谱测量样品的转变温度为$T_c$ =257 K,高于大多数单晶,明确揭示了一个异常增加的自旋波阻尼的激发接近布里渊区边界沿[ $100$ ]方向,不能解释为一个工件,由于非相互作用的声子分支。整个($HK0$)平面的自旋波显示出一个共同的趋势,其中自旋波阻尼取决于激发能量,对于高于大约15 meV的能量增加,并且达到至少20 meV的半峰全宽。结果是一致的模型的内在空间不均匀性与相分离的区域约18毫米的大小持续在一个大范围的温度低于$T_c$。

英文摘要:

While the spin dynamics of La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ in the ferromagnetic phase are known to be unconventional, previous measurements have yielded contradictory results regarding the damping of spin wave excitations. Neutron spectroscopy measurements on a sample with a transition temperature of $T_c$=257 K, higher than most single crystals, unambiguously reveal an anomalous increase in spin wave damping for excitations approaching the Brillouin zone boundary along the [$100$] direction that cannot be explained as an artifact due to a noninteracting phonon branch. Spin waves throughout the ($HK0$) plane display a common trend where the spin wave damping is dependent upon the excitation energy, increasing for energies above roughly 15 meV and reaching a full width at half maximum of at least 20 meV. The results are consistent with a model of intrinsic spatial inhomogeneity with phase separated regions approximately 18 Å in size persisting over a large range of temperatures below $T_c$.
