Coupling of material properties provides new fundamental insights and possibilities toward multifunctional devices. The spinel structures display strong coupling between different order parameters, as a consequence, exhibiting many fascinating properties like multiferroicity, superconductivity etc. Here, we have investigated structural, magnetic, and vibrational properties of mixed-spinel CoMn2O4, stabilized in distorted tetragonal structure as evidenced from X-ray diffraction measurements. Magnetization measurements reveal two ferrimagnetic phase transitions at 185 K and 90 K. Raman scattering measurements reveal the renormalization of phonon parameters for a few phonon modes at low temperatures, arising from spin-phonon coupling. The obtained value for λS2 is ~ 2 cm-1. The strength of the spin-phonon coupling (λ) is estimated according to the spins involved in corresponding lattice vibrations and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
