Study of Magnetic Excitations in the van der Waals Magnet CrNb₄Se₈ by Inelastic Neutron Scattering |
| 要旨(英語) |
In recent years, van der Waals (vdW) magnets have been actively studied as next-generation materials for spintronics. In this study, we focus on CrNb₄Se₈, a vdW material in which Cr ions form a triangular lattice between NbSe₂ layers stacked along the c axis. Our previous neutron diffraction experiments have revealed that the Cr magnetic moments form a 120°-type spin order characterized by a magnetic propagation wave vector of (1/3, 1/3, 0). This suggests that the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic interactions are predominantly antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic, respectively. However, we could not quantitatively estimate the magnitudes of the magnetic interactions. To address this issue, in the present study, we performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements on bulk samples using the high-resolution chopper spectrometer HRC at J-PARC. By comparing the observed magnon dispersions with calculations by a linear spin wave model based on a Hamiltonian that includes only nearest-neighbor interactions, we revealed that the out-of-plane magnetic interaction, which would be expected to be small for vdW magnets, is comparably strong as compared to the in-plane nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic interaction. |
