Abstract:
We report the measurement of spin waves in the bilayer colossal magnetoresistive manganites La2-2xSr1+2xMn2O7 with x = 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40. For x = 0.35 and 0.40 the entire acoustic and optic dispersion relations are well described by those for a bilayer Heisenberg Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbor exchange only, which is explained together with the spin-wave lifetimes by the double exchange model. The in-plane exchange depends weakly on x, but that between the planes of a bilayer changes by a factor of 4, directly revealing a change from mixed d(3z(2)-r(2)) and d(x(2)-y(2)) orbital character to mostly d(x(2)-y(2)).

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
