Low-energy magnons in the chiral ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3 : A coarse-grained approach

Abstract: We report a comprehensive neutron scattering study of low energy magnetic excitations in the breathing pyrochlore helimagnetic Cu2OSeO3. Fully documenting the four lowest energy magnetic modes that leave the ferrimagnetic configuration of the "strong tetrahedra" intact (| ω| < 13 meV), we find gapless quadratic dispersion at the Γ point for energies above 0.2 meV, two doublets separated by 1.6(2) meV at the R point, and a bounded continuum at the X point. Our constrained rigid spin cluster model relates these … Show more

“…Experimental detection of such change could serve as indirect evidence in favor of the existence of antiferromagnetic cantings in this crystal. It is worth noting that although the magnon spectrum of the Cu 2 OSeO 3 crystal has been studied repeatedly [53][54][55][56], no one has consciously studied the change in the wavenumber in a strong magnetic field.…”

“…Polar magnets display an intriguing spectrum of novel physical properties, from multiferroics to vortex-like spin states, and associated nontrivial topology spin physics. Topologically distinct spin textures, such as skyrmions, featuring a nanometric-sized particle nature are anticipated to play an important role in several areas, from new knowledge in electronic and magnetic states of matter to unconventional computing and high-density low-power magnetic memory applications. Underpinning much of this behavior is the ability of magnetic polar compounds, in which spatial inversion symmetry is broken, to stabilize the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) exchange interaction supported by strong coupling of spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. ,,,, …”

“…Magnon band structures are nontrivial in chiral magnets because of bulk Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. As a consequence of the asymmetric exchange interaction, bulk DMI introduces non-reciprocity for the spin waves [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
