The multiferroic material YMnO3 is known to show a large spin lattice coupling such that the spin and lattice degrees of freedom influence various properties, as for example the thermal conductivity that is found to have an anomalous contribution. The magnetoelastic modes have been measured recently in neutron diffraction experiments and linked to certain spectral features in Raman signals. Starting from a Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice with single ion anisotropies, we investigate the spin-phonon coupling via the magnetostriction mechanism and derive a coupled magnon-phonon model valid in the entire Brillouin zone. Within a spin-wave approach, where the coupling yields a hybrid magnon-phonon mode, we calculate the dynamic structure factor and compare to recent experimental neutron results.
