Abstract Scope |
Antiferromagnetic materials attract much interests due to their vanishing total magnetization, which allows robustness again disturbance and possible long mean-free-path for applications in spintronics and controlling thermal transport via magnetism. Temperature, magnetic field, and pressure dependent inelastic neutron scattering is used to investigate the magnon and phonon dynamics and their interactions in some important antiferromagnetic materials. First principles calculations are used to interpret the compilated interactions between phonon lattice dynamics, spin wave, and spin dynamics, and their implications on the thermal transport properties. |
