Magnon-magnon interaction and magnon relaxation time in ferromagnetic Cr2Ge2Te6 monolayer

Abstract

Despite the intense amount of attention and huge potential of two-dimensional (2D) magnets for applications in novel magnetic, magneto-optical, magneto-thermal and magneto-electronic devices, there has yet to be a robust strategy developed to systematically understand magnon-magnon (MMI) interactions at finite temperature. In this paper, we present a first-principles theoretical method to introduce the finite temperature magnon-magnon interaction into Heisenberg Hamiltonian through a nonlinear correction energy. The Wick theorem is used to decouple the four-magnon operators to two-magnon order. We demonstrate the capabilities of this method by studying the strength of MMI in Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT) monolayer. The spin wave spectrum at finite temperature and the time-dependent spin autocorrelation function are explored. It is found that the magnon relaxation time due to magnon-magnon scattering increases with temperature because of the reduction in magnon energy, while decreases with wavevector and external magnetic field. Our results provide a new insight to understand the magnon damping and energy dissipation in two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials.
