G. Blumberg et al., RESONANT 2-MAGNON RAMAN-SCATTERING IN CUPRATE ANTIFERROMAGNETIC INSULATORS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 53(18), 1996, pp. 11930-11933
We present results of low-temperature two-magnon resonance Raman excit
ation profile measurements for single-layer Sr2CuO2Cl2 and bilayer YBa
2Cu3O6+delta antiferromagnets over the excitation region from 1.65 to
3.05 eV. These data reveal composite structure of the two-magnon line
shape and strong nonmonotic dependence of the scattering intensity on
excitation energy. We analyze these data using the triple resonance th
eory of Chubukov and Frenkel [Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 3057 (1995)] and de
duce information about magnetic interaction and band parameters in the
se materials.
