Orbital and spin excitations in cobalt oxide

By means of neutron scattering we have determined new branches of magnetic excitations in orbitally active CoO ( T N=290 K) up to 15 THz and for temperatures from 6 to 450 K. Data were taken in the (1 1 1) direction in six single-crystal zones. From the dependence on temperature and Q we have identi...

Summary:By means of neutron scattering we have determined new branches of magnetic excitations in orbitally active CoO ( T N=290 K) up to 15 THz and for temperatures from 6 to 450 K. Data were taken in the (1 1 1) direction in six single-crystal zones. From the dependence on temperature and Q we have identified several branches of magnetic excitation. We describe a model for the coupled orbital and spin states of Co 2+ subject to a crystal field and tetragonal distortion.
