Optical phonons, spin correlations, and spin-phonon coupling in the frustrated pyrochlore magnets CdCr2O4 and ZnCr2O4

Ch. Kant, J. Deisenhofer, T. Rudolf +7

We report on infrared, Raman, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat measurements on CdCr2O4 and ZnCr2O4 single crystals. We estimate the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest neig…

Polar phonons and spin-phonon coupling in HgCr2S4 and CdCr2S4

T. Rudolf, Ch. Kant, F. Mayr +3

Polar phonons of HgCr2S4 and CdCr2S4 are studied by far-infrared spectroscopy as a function of temperature and external magnetic field. Eigenfrequencies, damping constants, effecti…
