An overview of the spin dynamics of antiferromagnetic Mn${}_5$Si${}_3$

Abstract

The metallic compound Mn${}_5$Si${}_3$ hosts a series of antiferromagnetic phases which can be controlled by external stimuli such as temperature and magnetic field. In this work, we investigate the spin-excitation spectrum of bulk Mn${}_5$Si${}_3$ by combining inelastic neutron scattering measurements and density functional theory calculations. We study the evolution of the dynamical response under external parameters and demonstrate that the spin dynamics of each phase is robust against any combination of temperature and magnetic field. In particular, the high-energy spin dynamics is very characteristic of the different phases consisting of either spin waves or broad fluctuations patterns.
