In Eu2ZnIrO6, effectively two atoms are active i.e. Ir is magnetically active, which results in complex magnetic ordering within the Ir sublattice at low temperature. On the other hand, although Eu is a van-vleck paramagnet, it is active in the electronic channels involving 4f 6 crystal-field split levels. Phonons, quanta of lattice vibration, involving vibration of atoms in the unit cell, are intimately coupled with both magnetic and electronic degrees of freedom (DoF). Here, we report a comprehensive study focusing on the phonons as well as intra-configurational excitations in double-perovskite Eu2ZnIrO6. Our studies reveal strong coupling of phonons with the underlying magnetic DoF reflected in the renormalization of the phonon self-energy parameters well above the spin-solid phase (TN ~ 12 K) till temperature as high as ~ 3TN, evidences broken spin rotational symmetry deep into the paramagnetic phase. In particular, all the observed first-order phonon modes show softening of varying degree below ~3TN, and low-frequency phonons become sharper, while the high-frequency phonons show broadening attributed to the additional available magnetic damping channels. We also observed a large number of high-energy modes, 39 in total, attributed to the electronic transitions between 4f-levels of the rare-earth Eu3+ ion and these modes shows anomalous temperature evolution as well as mixing of the crystal-field split levels attributed to the strong coupling of electronic and lattice DoF.
Lattice and spin excitations have been studied by Raman scattering in hexagonal YbMnO3 single crystals. The temperature dependences of the phonon modes show that the E2 mode at 256 cm-1 related to the displacement of Mn and O ions in a-b plane is cou
We used Raman and terahertz spectroscopies to investigate lattice and magnetic excitations and their cross-coupling in the hexagonal YMnO3 multiferroic. Two phonon modes are strongly affected by the magnetic order. Magnon excitations have been identi
In two-dimensional (2D) metallic kagome lattice materials, destructive interference of electronic hopping pathways around the kagome bracket can produce nearly localized electrons, and thus electronic bands that are flat in momentum space. When ferro
Raman scattering measurements on BiFeO3 single crystals show an important coupling between the magnetic order and lattice vibrations. The temperature evolution of phonons shows that the lowest energy E and A1 phonon modes are coupled to the spin orde
Motivated by the recently synthesized insulating nickelate Ni$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$, which has been reported to have an unusual non-collinear magnetic order of Ni$^{2+}$ $S=1$ moments with a nontrivial angle between adjacent spins, we construct an effective
