Other Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The interaction of light in terahertz frequency region with electromagnons in a sinusoidal incommensurate magnetic state in TbMnO3 is studied. A significant change in the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant e_zz near the temperature of the phase transition from sinusoidal magnetic ordering to spiral spin structure with a spontaneous electric poiarization is predicted. Phason mode of this phase transition is the mode of electromagnon with ME coupling proportional to the wave number of modulation structure.
