摘要

We present data on the magnetic and magnetoelastic coupling in the hexagonal multiferroic manganite LuMnO3 from inelastic neutron scattering, magnetization, and thermal-expansion measurements. We measured the magnon dispersion along the main symmetry directions and used this data to determine the principal exchange parameters from a spin-wave model. An analysis of the magnetic anisotropy in terms of the crystal field acting on the Mn is presented. We compare the results for LuMnO3 with data on other hexagonal RMnO3 compounds.
