Temperature dependent dielectric function of hexagonal YMnO3 — •Steffen Richter1, Rüdiger Schmidt-Grund1, Carsten Bundesmann2, Stefan Ebbinghaus3, and Marius Grundmann11Universität Leipzig, Institut für Experimentelle Physik II, Linnéstr. 5, 04103 Leipzig, Germany — 2Leibniz-Institut für Oberflächenmodifizierung e.V., Permoserstr. 15, 04318 Leipzig, Germany — 3Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Institut für Chemie, Kurt-Mothes-Str. 2, 06120 Halle, Germany

Rare earth manganites are promising due to the occurrence of multiferroic properties. Hexagonal YMnO3 is ferrolectric up to high temperatures. Furthermore, it is antiferromagnetic below a Néel temperature of around 90K. Both features are coupled by the configuration of the manganese ions. In order to study a possible coupling to its optical properties we examine the uniaxial dielectric function of h-YMnO3 in the NIR-VUV spectral range for temperatures from 10 to 300K. The measurements are performed at an a-plane oriented single crystal sample, grown by the optical floating zone technique. The temperature dependence of some Mn-related transitions gives hint to the occurence of a soft mode related to the antiferromagnetic phase transition.
