Spin excitations in single crystalline antiferromagnetic LiFePO4 have been investigated by high-frequency electron spin resonance studies in static and pulsed fields up to 50 T. Several resonance branches are observed, which can be associated with the antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) modes as well as with single-ion-like excitations of iron ions at the lithium position (i.e., antisite disorder). Pulsed-field ESR experiments in magnetic fields parallel to the easy b-axis clearly show closing of the AFM gap at the spin-reorientation transition at 32 T, previously observed by pulsed magnetisation measurements [1]. The pronounced curvature of the AFM resonance mode cannot be explained in a conventional two-sublattice mean field model. In addition to the AFMR branches, a less intense linear resonance branch is observed in pulsed fields. Its extrapolated zero field splitting fits well to an excitation which a recent neutron study [2] associates to a single-ion-like transition between excited (i.e., non-ground state) CF-split states. Our data however exclude this scenario but we attribute it to the presence of antisite disorder.
