Phonon-magnon interaction in low dimensional quantum magnets observed by dynamic heat transport measurements.

چکیده
Thirty-five years ago, Sanders and Walton [Phys. Rev. B 15, 1489 (1977)] proposed a method to measure the phonon-magnon interaction in antiferromagnets through thermal transport which so far has not been verified experimentally. We show that a dynamical variant of this approach allows direct extraction of the phonon-magnon equilibration time, yielding 400 μs for the cuprate spin-ladder system Ca(9)La(5)Cu(24)O(41). The present work provides a general method to directly address the spin-phonon interaction by means of dynamical transport experiments.

Heat conduction in low-dimensional quantum magnets
Transport properties provide important information about the mobility, elastic and inelastic of scattering of excitations in solids. Heat transport is well understood for phonons and electrons, but little is known about heat transport by magnetic excitations. Very recently, large and unusual magnetic heat conductivities were discovered in low-dimensional quantum magnets. This article summarizes...
متن کاملMagnetic properties of „VO...2P2O7: Two-plane structure and spin-phonon interactions
Detailed experiments on single-crystal ~VO!2P2O7 continue to reveal new and unexpected features. We show that a model composed of two, independent planes of spin chains with frustrated magnetic coupling is consistent with nuclear-magnetic-resonance and inelastic-neutron-scattering measurements. The pivotal role of PO4 groups in mediating intrachain exchange interactions explains both the presen...
متن کاملMagnon-drag thermopile.
Thermoelectric effects in spintronics are gathering increasing attention as a means of managing heat in nanoscale structures and of controlling spin information by using heat flow. Thermal magnons (spin-wave quanta) are expected to play a major role; however, little is known about the underlying physical mechanisms involved. The reason is the lack of information about magnon interactions and of...
متن کاملInvestigation of phononic, dynamic and thermal properties of indium nitride in different phases
In this paper, the phonon, dynamic and thermal properties of indium nitride in two phases are investigated. The calculations are performed using the pseudopotantial method in the framework of density functional theory and by using the quantum-espresso Package. In the calculations, the exchange-correlation terms of LDA, GGA and PBE0 approximation are used. Investigation of phononic properties s...

– Nonelectronic thermal conduction and heat-pulse propagation in solids; thermal waves. Abstract. – The thermal conductivity κ of the spin-1/2 chain cuprate BaCu2Si2O7 was measured along different crystallographic directions in the temperature region between 0.5 and 300 K. The thermal conductivity along the chain direction considerably exceeds that along perpendicular directions. Near the antif...
