Abstract

One dimensional Cherenkov processes in ferromagnetic isolators are studied with perturbation theory under the constraint condition of conservation of energy and momentum. It is shown that the magnon-phonon interaction channels are limited and wave number dependent, which result in respectively 1/k21/k^{2} and 1/k41/k^{4} dependence of the lifetime and the relaxation time of long wavelength magnons. The reciprocal of relaxation time between magnons and phonons, 1/τmp1/\tau_{mp}, is found to be a linearly increasing function of the temperature as T>T> 70 K. Based on the Sanders-Walton model, we further show that when a thermal (phonon) gradient is applied along the system, the temperature difference between the phonon bath and the magnons with wave-vector kk becomes more pronounced as kk decreasing.
