Spin Wave Spectra in Pseudoperovskite Manganites with Superexchange Interaction Competition

Abstract

In compounds La1/3Ca2/3MnO3 and BiMnO3, a calculation of spin-wave dispersion dependences along pseudoperovskite directions of reciprocal space is made. The model includes orbitally dependent superexchange interaction and single-ion anisotropy. Considered compounds present competing exchange interactions within magnetic unit cell because of orbital or charge-orbital ordering. The nearest neighbor superexchange interaction is taken into account. The magnetic structure and dispersion dependences of spin waves frequencies are calculated within the framework of regular multi-sublattice model. The peculiarities of frustrated magnetic spin-wave spectra are found. It is shown, that crossing and splitting of spin-waves branches in non-symmetric points of magnetic Brillouin zone is a common feature of the spectra due to exchange competition. The band structure of Г-point spectra for both compounds are predicted. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature.
