Abstract
The complex phase transitions of SmBaMn2O6 single crystals are investigated using temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy. Distinct anomalies associated with the charge-orbital ordering are observed in the breathing mode at 614 cm−1, which shows a pronounced enhancement at the high-temperature charge-orbital ordering temperature of 380 K and a splitting into 597 and 631 cm−1 at the low-temperature charge-orbital ordering temperature of 200 K. Furthermore, the Jahn–Teller mode at 480 cm−1 exhibits a blueshift up to 5 cm−1 below the antiferromagnetic spin ordering temperature of 175 K, indicating spin–phonon interaction with a strong coupling constant of 2.5 cm−1. The observed anomalies in phonon frequency, linewidth, and intensity near the phase transition temperatures highlight the importance of lattice–charge–spin interactions in SmBaMn2O6.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
