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.

Correlation between the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and the orbital angular momentum at an oxide / ferromagnet interface
我们报告的Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya()相互作用在铁磁体和氧化物之间的界面。我们用实验证明氧化物能引起氧化物。通过比较由Pt/Co 90 Fe 10/氧化物和Cu/Co 90 Fe 10/氧化物组成的系统,我们还展示了一个界面的氧化如何增强和增加由Pt界面产生的总氧化。这是由于在两个界面上的手性促进左手手性的事实。最后,通过使用铁磁共振光谱,我们表明,的π和光谱分裂因子,这是一个衡量的轨道动量,相关。这表明了杂化和电荷转移在氧化物界面的重要性。
