Spin excitations in the magnetically ordered phases of MnSc2S4
Abstract
Recent neutron scattering experiments suggested that frustrated magnetic interactions give rise to antiferromagnetic spiral and fractional skyrmion lattice phases in MnSc2S4. Here, to trace the signatures of these modulated phases, we studied the spin excitations of MnSc2S4 by THz spectroscopy at 300 mK up to 12 T. We found a single magnetic resonance with linearly increasing frequency in field. The corresponding g-factor of Mn2+ ions g = 1.96, and the absence of other resonances imply very weak anisotropies and negligible contribution of higher harmonics to the spiral state. The significant difference between the dc magnetic susceptibility and the lowest-frequency ac susceptibility in our experiment implies the existence of mode(s) below 100 GHz.
