Understanding Far-Infrared Absorption in the S=1 Antiferromagnetic Chain Compound NENP
arXiv:cond-mat/9309022 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.72.912
Abstract
Infrared transmission measurements on the antiferromagnetic chain compound NENP in applied magnetic fields show a sharp absorption line at the field-shifted Haldane gap. This violates a wave-vector selection rule of the Hamiltonian normally used for NENP, as the gap excitations occur at the Brillouin zone boundary. We argue that the crystal structure admits terms which can explain the absorption lines. In addition, in an applied field, staggered orientations of the g-tensors produce a staggered magnetic field. This can explain the observation of a finite gap at all applied fields.
