Abstract:We report on the far-infrared, temperature-dependent optical properties of a CrI3 transition metal halide single crystal, a van der Waals ferromagnet (FM) with a Curie temperature of 61 K. In addition to the expected phonon modes determined by the crystalline symmetry, the optical reflectance and transmittance spectra of CrI3 single crystals show many other excitations as a function of temperature as a consequence of the combination of a strong lattice anharmonicity and spin–phonon coupling. This complex vibra… Show more
