Electromagnon in ferrimagnetic epsilon-Fe2O3 nanograin ceramics
Original language description
Electromagnons are known from multiferroics as spin waves excited by the electric component of electromagnetic radiation. We report the discovery of an excitation in the far-infrared spectra of epsilon-Fe2O3, which we attribute to an electromagnon appearing below 110 K where the ferrimagnetic structure becomes incommensurately modulated. Inelastic neutron scattering shows that the electromagnon energy corresponds to that of a magnon from the Brillouin-zone boundary. Dielectric measurements did not reveal any sign of ferroelectricity in epsilon-Fe2O3 down to 10 K, despite its acentric crystal structure. This shows that the activation of an electromagnon requires, in addition to the polar ferrimagnetic structure, a modulation of the magnetic structure. We demonstrate that a combination of inelastic neutron scattering with infrared and/or terahertz (THz) spectroscopies allows detecting electromagnons in ceramics where no crystal-orientation analysis of THz and infrared spectra is possible
