Easy-plane antiferromagnet in tilted field: gap in magnon spectrum and susceptibility

Abstract

Motivated by recent experimental data on dichloro-tetrakis thiourea-nickel (DTN) [T.A. Soldatov $\text{et al}$, Phys. Rev. B $101$, 104410 (2020)], a model of antiferromagnet on a tetragonal lattice with single-ion easy-plane anisotropy in the tilted external magnetic field is considered. Using the smallness of the in-plane field component, we analytically address field dependence of the energy gap in ``acoustic'' magnon mode and transverse uniform magnetic susceptibility in the ordered phase. It is shown that the former is non-monotonic due to quantum fluctuations, which was indeed observed experimentally. The latter is essentially dependent on the ``optical'' magnon rate of decay on two magnons. At magnetic fields close to the one which corresponds to the center of the ordered phase, it leads to experimentally observed dynamical diamagnetism phenomenon.
