We combined high field magnetization and magneto-optical spectroscopy to investigate spincharge coupling in Mn-substituted rare-earth indium oxides of chemical formula RIn1−xMnxO3 (R = Tb, Dy). The edge states, on-site Mn 3+ d to d excitations, and rare-earth f -manifold excitations all track the magnetization energy due to dominant Zeeman interactions. The field-induced modifications to the rare-earth excitations are quite large because spin-orbit coupling naturally mixes spin and charge, suggesting that the next logical step in the design strategy should be to bring spin-orbit coupling onto the trigonal bipyramidal chromophore site with a 4 or 5d center.
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.
