Sv. Maleyev et al., THE FIRST OBSERVATION OF DYNAMICAL CHIRALITY BY MEANS OF POLARIZED NEUTRON-SCATTERING IN THE TRIANGULAR LATTICE ANTIFERROMAGNET CSMNBR3, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 10(5), 1998, pp. 951-960
The polarization-dependent part of the neutron scattering in the trian
gular-lattice antiferromagnet CsMnBr3 is studied. This scattering appe
ars in an external magnetic field and is determined by the projection
of a chiral fluctuation on the sample magnetization (the dynamical chi
rality, DC). It is shown that the DC cross section is an odd function
of the energy transfer, omega, and is proportional to the magnetic fie
ld up to LO kOe above T-N. A Be filter is used instead of the analyser
for measuring the DC scattering integrated over omega < 0. It is show
n that below T-N the field dependence of this intensity reveals two fe
atures related to the acoustic spin waves and to a new type of low-ene
rgy magnetic excitation, presumably of topological nature. The tempera
ture dependence of the acoustic spin waves near T-N is in qualitative
agreement with dynamical scaling.
