Spontaneous decays of magneto-elastic excitations in non-collinear antiferromagnet (Y,Lu)MnO3
The properties of magnetic, crystalline solids can be described in terms of quantum particles of spin-wave and lattice-vibration energy, known as magnons and phonons respectively. Here, the authors show that strong magnon-phonon coupling in a noncollinear antiferromagnet can create magnetoelastic ex...
