Abstract:
The chiral helimagnet CrNb3S6 hosts various temperature- and magnetic-field-stabilized chiral soliton lattices (CSLs) and corresponding exotic collective spin resonance modes, which make it an ideal candidate for future magnetic storage/memory and magnon-based information processing. While most studies have focused on characterizing various static spin textures in this chiral helimagnet, its corresponding collective dynamics have rarely been explored. This study systematically investigates the temperature- and magnetic-field-dependent magnetic dynamics of a single crystal of CrNb3S6 using broadband microwave spectroscopy. We observe an optical mode with a temperature-independent mode number in addition to Kittel-like ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) modes in the CSL phase, consistent with the temperature-independent normalized CSL period L(H)/L(0) based on the 1D chiral sine-Gordon model. Furthermore, combining theoretical model fitting and micromagnetic simulation, we provide a detailed phase diagram and temporal-spatial resolution of dynamic modes, which may help to develop high-frequency exchange-coupling-based spintronic devices.
