Circular dichroism and Raman optical activity in antiferromagnetic transition metal fluorides
The Raman optical activity (ROA) of magnons in rutile-structure antiferromagnetic FeF₂ (TN = 78 K) has been studied as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. For exciting light incident along the c axis, ROA is observed for magnons but not for phonons. In zero field, a small splitt...

| description |
The Raman optical activity (ROA) of magnons in rutile-structure antiferromagnetic FeF₂
(TN = 78 K) has been studied as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. For exciting
light incident along the c axis, ROA is observed for magnons but not for phonons. In zero field, a
small splitting (0.09 cm⁻¹) of the two acoustic–magnon branches is observed for the first time by
inelastic light scattering. The splitting in applied magnetic field is found to reduce with increasing
temperature in accordance with theory. No ROA was detected for two-magnon excitations. In optical
absorption measurements performed over thirty years ago, a very small circular dichroism
(CD) was observed in the magnon sidebands of other simple rutile antiferromagnetic fluorides
(MnF₂ and CoF₂). The origin of this CD was not understood at the time. The Raman studies of the
one-magnon Raman scattering in FeF₂ have demonstrated that in zero field the degeneracy of the
antiferromagnetic magnon branches is lifted by a weak magnetic dipole–dipole interaction, as predicted
by Pincus and Loudon and by White four decades ago. The source of the observed CD in the
magnon sidebands can now be traced to this same magnetic–dipole induced splitting. |
