In DyMnO3 orthorhombic single crystals, the weak Raman active phonons oftening below T=100 K is correlated with the study of infrared active Dy3+ CF excitations as a function of temperature and under applied magnetic field. We detect five H-13/2 CF transitions that we predict with appropriate CF Hamiltonian and we confirm that the magnetic easy axis lies in the ab plane. While the CF energy level shifts below T=100 K reflect different displacements of the oxygen ions that contribute to the phonon softening, lifting of the ground state Kramers doublet degeneracy (similar to 30 cm(-1)) is observed below T-N=39 K due to the anisotropic Mn3+ -Dy3+ interaction, which could be responsible for the stability of the bc-cycloid ferroelectric phase.

Magnetic equivalent of electric superradiance in yttrium-iron-garnet films

Lukas Weymann, Alexey Shuvaev, Andrei Pimenov, Alexander A. Mukhin, David Szaller

Summary: A dense system of independent oscillators connected only by interacting with the same cavity excitation mode will radiate coherently in a phenomenon called superradiance. Experimental investigations on yttrium iron garnet thin films show that with increasing film thickness, losses due to coherent radiation dominate the system's internal broadening.

High-Angular Momentum Excitations in Collinear Antiferromagnet FePS3

Jan Wyzula, Ivan Mohelsky, Diana Vaclaykoya, Piotr Kapuscinski, Martin Veis, Clement Faugeras, Marek Potemski, Mike E. Zhitomirsky, Milan Orlita

Summary: We report on magneto-optical studies of the quasi-two-dimensional van der Waals antiferromagnet FePS3. Our measurements reveal an unusual antiferromagnetic resonance excitation with a four-times larger Zeeman splitting in an applied magnetic field. We attribute this excitation to the condensation of multipolar magnons, which can produce new exotic states in large-spin materials with a strong magnetic anisotropy.

Summary: Since the emergence of graphene, proposals for tunable Landau lasers in the terahertz frequency range have been made. Despite the non-equidistance of the Landau levels, a non-radiative process still persists in Landau-quantized graphene. This work demonstrates Landau emission from Dirac fermions in HgTe quantum wells, which can be tuned by both magnetic field and carrier concentration.

Gennadiy A. Komandin, Artem M. Kuzmenko, Igor E. Spektor, Alexander A. Mukhin

Summary: The absorption mechanisms in orthoferrite TbFeO3 were studied using various spectroscopy techniques. The spectra were analyzed using the oscillator model and four-parameter model, and the parameters were determined. The main absorption processes were identified, including contributions from phonons, multi-phonon processes, electron transitions, and antiferromagnetic resonance modes. The electrodynamic response in TbFeO3 showed significant absorption in the THz range due to multi-phonon processes, surpassing optical phonon contribution by an order of magnitude at room temperature.

Observation of Magnetic-Field-Induced Electric Polarization in Terbium Orthoferrite

V. Yu. Ivanov, A. M. Kuz'menko, A. Yu. Tikhanovskii, A. A. Pronin, A. A. Mukhin

Summary: In TbFeO3 orthoferrite, a magnetic field H-b along the a axis induces an electric polarization P-a(H-b) at temperatures below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature for the terbium subsystem. This polarization is accompanied by anomalies associated with metamagnetic and spin-reorientation transitions. The observed effects can be qualitatively explained by considering the allowed magnetoelectric interactions in the field-induced magnetic structures.

Temperature dependence of the energy band gap in ZrTe5: Implications for the topological phase

I. Mohelsky, J. Wyzula, B. A. Piot, G. D. Gu, Q. Li, A. Akrap, M. Orlita

Summary: Using Landau-level spectroscopy, the temperature dependence of the energy band gap in zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe5) is determined. It is found that the band gap reaches E-g = (5 & PLUSMN; 1) meV at low temperatures and increases monotonically with the temperature. This implies that ZrTe5 is a weak topological insulator with noninverted ordering of electronic bands in the center of the Brillouin zone. Magnetotransport experiments show that the resistivity anomaly in ZrTe5 is not connected with the temperature dependence of the band gap.

Magnetoelectric phenomena in Fe langasites

A. Yu. Tikhanovskii, V. Yu. Ivanov, A. M. Kuzmenko, A. M. Balbashov, Z. Wang, V. Skumryev, A. A. Mukhin

Summary: Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out on the magnetoelectric properties of three types of Fe langasite multiferroics. The induced polarization was found to depend on both the magnitude and orientation of the magnetic field. The group theoretical analysis revealed a relationship between polarization and magnetic order parameters. At high magnetic fields, the behavior of electric polarization changes qualitatively and is strongly influenced by the magnetic field orientation.

Anomalous temperature dependence of the effective mass in p-type Bi2Te3

V Zelezny, V Goian, J. Navratil, C. Drasar, M. Orlita, B. A. Piot, J. Prokleska, M. Misek, J. Kastil, S. Kamba

Summary: Infrared reflectance measurements were conducted on highly p-type Bi2Te3 crystals over a wide temperature range. An anomalous nonmonotonous temperature dependence of the plasma edge frequency was observed, with a pronounced redshift and blueshift above and below room temperature. This behavior is explained by the temperature evolution of the free carrier optical weight N/m*, which is determined by the total carrier concentration and characteristic mass. The interpretation is supported by complementary magnetotransport and magnetoreflectivity experiments.

Oleg I. Utesov

Summary: The elementary excitations spectrum of anisotropic frustrated antiferromagnets in the fan phase is discussed. It is found that the low-energy part of the spectrum consists of a gapless phason branch with linear dispersion and a gapped optical branch corresponding to the fan structure amplitude oscillations. In the high-energy part of the spectrum, the excitations are similar to the magnons of the fully polarized phase.

Vapor bubbles departure frequency at ferrofluid boiling on a single nucleation site in a uniform horizontal magnetic field

Alexander Ya. Simonovskii, Alexander A. Yanovskii, Arthur R. Zakinyan

Summary: In this study, the departure frequency of vapor bubbles during boiling of ferrofluid in a horizontal magnetic field is experimentally investigated. Two methods, visual and inductive, are used to measure the frequency of bubble departure. The results show that the bubble departure frequency can decrease with increasing magnetic field strength and increase with increasing temperature of the heat-emitting surface. A linear stability analysis is conducted to analyze the influence of the magnetic field on the frequency of bubble formation during ferrofluid boiling.

Thermodynamic, entanglement and spin Hall conductivity on kagome-honeycomb lattice system

Leonardo S. Lima

Summary: This study investigates the thermodynamic quantities, such as entropy, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility, in the next-nearest-neighbors Heisenberg model on a honeycomb-kagome lattice. The linear spin-wave approach is applied to obtain the temperature-dependent behavior of these quantities. Additionally, the entanglement negativity, a quantifier of quantum entanglement, and the spin Hall conductivity are also studied. The results show that all the thermodynamic quantities, as well as the entanglement negativity and spin Hall conductivity, exhibit an increasing trend with temperature. Furthermore, it is found that all the analyzed quantities approach zero in the low-temperature limit, consistent with experimental observations.
