Terahertz magnetic resonance in MnCr₂O₄ under high magnetic field

Terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) of polycrystalline MnCr₂O₄ was performed at <9 T and low temperatures. A resonance absorption in the sub-THz range with linear blueshifts was observed as the magnetic field was increased from 4 T to 9 T. These magnetism-driven absorptions originated from a ferromagnetic resonance, which agrees with low-field electron spin resonance measurements and ferromagnetic resonance theory. The low-temperature g-factors of MnCr₂O₄ were also obtained using THz-TDS. This work provides new insights into the spin dynamics of chromite spinel compounds in the THz region.
