Magnetic excitations in van der Waals materials, particularly in the 2D limit, have been studied using temperature-dependent magnetoRaman spectroscopy. The researchers identified hybridization of two-magnon excitations with two phonons in manganese phosphorus triselenide, and constructed a model to explain the observations. This work demonstrates the strong hybridization between phonons and a two-magnon continuum, providing insight into interactions in 2D magnetic materials.
Magnetic excitations in van der Waals (vdW) materials, especially in the two-dimensional (2D) limit, are an exciting research topic from both the fundamental and applied perspectives. Using temperature-dependent, magnetoRaman spectroscopy, we identify the hybridization of two-magnon excitations with two phonons in manganese phosphorus triselenide (MnPSe3), a magnetic vdW material that hosts in-plane antiferromagnetism. Results from first-principles calculations of the phonon and magnon spectra further support our identification. The Raman spectra's rich temperature dependence through the magnetic transition displays an avoided crossing behavior in the phonons' frequency and a concurrent decrease in their lifetimes. We construct a model based on the interaction between a discrete level and a continuum that reproduces these observations. Our results imply a strong hybridization between each phonon and a two-magnon continuum. This work demonstrates that the magnon-phonon interactions can be observed directly in Raman scattering and provides deep insight into these interactions in 2D magnetic materials.
