摘要:

二维(2D)磁性系统具有多样的磁有序结构,可承载携带自旋角动量的可调磁振子。近期研究表明,晶格振动也能以手性声子的形式携带角动量。然而,磁性系统中磁振子与手性声子的相互作用以及手性声子的形成细节仍有待探索。本文中,我们报道了在层状锯齿形反铁磁体(AFM)FePSe₃中观测到磁振子诱导的手性声子以及手性选择性磁振子-声子杂化现象。结合磁红外光谱和磁拉曼光谱,我们在零磁场下观测到了新型杂化准粒子——手性磁振子极化子(chiMP)。其杂化能隙达到0.25 meV,且在低至四层的极限下仍能存在。通过第一性原理计算,我们揭示了反铁磁磁振子与具有平行角动量的手性声子之间的相干耦合,这种耦合源于底层的声子对称性与空间群对称性。该耦合解除了手性声子的简并性,并导致chiMP分支出现异常的拉曼圆偏振特性。零磁场下相干手性自旋-晶格激发的观测为基于角动量的混合声子与磁振子器件的研发铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

Two-dimensional (2D) magnetic systems possess versatile magnetic order and can host tunable magnons carrying spin angular momenta. Recent advances show angular momentum can also be carried by lattice vibrations in the form of chiral phonons. However, the interplay between magnons and chiral phonons as well as the details of chiral phonon formation in a magnetic system are yet to be explored. Here, we report the observation of magnon-induced chiral phonons and chirality selective magnon-phonon hybridization in a layered zigzag antiferromagnet (AFM) FePSe$_3$. With a combination of magneto-infrared and magneto-Raman spectroscopy, we observe chiral magnon polarons (chiMP), the new hybridized quasiparticles, at zero magnetic field. The hybridization gap reaches 0.25~meV and survives down to the quadrilayer limit. Via first principle calculations, we uncover a coherent coupling between AFM magnons and chiral phonons with parallel angular momenta, which arises from the underlying phonon and space group symmetries. This coupling lifts the chiral phonon degeneracy and gives rise to an unusual Raman circular polarization of the chiMP branches. The observation of coherent chiral spin-lattice excitations at zero magnetic field paves the way for angular momentum-based hybrid phononic and magnonic devices.
