Study of Magnetic Excitations in the van der Waals Magnet
CrNb₄Se₈ by Inelastic Neutron Scattering
要旨: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. |
