Calculation of nonlinear magnetic susceptibility tensors for a uniaxial antiferromagnet

Abstract

In this paper, we present a derivation of the nonlinear susceptibility tensors for a two-sublattice uniaxial antiferromagnet up to the third-order effects within the standard definition by which the rf magnetization m is defined as a power series expansion in the rf fields h with the susceptibility tensors as the coefficients. The starting point is the standard set of torque equations of motion for this problem. A complete set of tensor elements is derived for the case of a single-frequency input wave. Within a circular polarization frame (pnz) expressions are given for the first-order susceptibility, second-harmonic generation, optical rectification, third-harmonic generation and intensity-dependent susceptibility. Some of the coefficients with representative resonance features in the far infrared are illustrated graphically and we conclude with a brief discussion of the implications of the resonance features arising from the calculations and their potential applications.

Discrete breathers — Advances in theory and applications

“…For such states, it is convenient to introduce new variables S + n = S x n + iS y n which satisfy [396] iṠ The anharmonicity due to spin interactions is intrinsically soft [10,243], so that for D = 0 one needs to have a gap in the linear wave spectrum for localized excitations to exist: Ω b < ω 0 for DBs. This gap is generated by the anisotropy J z = J x , J y , see Eq.…”

Counting discrete emission steps from intrinsic localized modes in a quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnetic lattice

“…Since the third order nonlinearity ͑3͒ of the antiferromagnet makes possible a four-wave mixing experiment [28][29][30] this method has been used to observe in emission the small number of ILMs that remain locked to the driver. The transverse magnetization components oscillating at the different frequencies in the four-wave mixing process are illustrated in Fig.…”

“…Here, we review the four wave mixing for the simpler case of an easy z-axis antiferromagnet. 29,30 Writing the torque equation for the uniform mode in circularly polarized modes in the usual way and then taking the next time derivation one obtains the nonlinear equation of motion where the ͑ϩ͒ sign identifies one circularly polarized mode and the ͑Ϫ͒ sign the other for each of the sublattices A and B.…”
