Complex magnon spectrum of the simple collinear antiferromagnet Co2Mo3O8 — •Stephan Reschke1, Dániel Farkas2, Sandor Bordács2, Vladimir Tsurkan1, and István Kézsmárki11University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany — 2Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary

Co2Mo3O8 belongs to a family of hexagonal lattice type-I multiferroics, showing peculiar magnetoelectric effects. In this compound the magnetic Co2+ ions are in either tetrahedral or octahedral oxygen coordination and form honeycomb layers in the ab plane. Based on neutron powder diffraction, Co2Mo3O8 is a 4 sub-lattice collinear easy-axis antiferromagnet below TN = 42 K. By THz time-domain spectroscopy measurements the magnon excitation spectra of differently oriented single crystals were investigated in magnetic fields up to 7 T. Interestingly, we observed magnon spectra far more complicated than expected for the proposed simple antiferromagnetic structure, with more than 20 magnon modes. Most of these modes show a splitting for magnetic fields applied along the c axis, which supports the predominantly easy-axis character of the antiferromagnetic state. Furthermore, we also observed directional dichroism for some of the modes, a consequence of the dynamic magnetoelectric effects.
