Multimagnon-mediated Raman scattering in two-dimensional quasiperiodic Heisenberg antiferromagnets

Abstract

Abstract We demonstrate configuration-interaction and Green’s function approaches to the Shastry-Shraiman fourth-order magnetic Raman response of Heisenberg antiferromagnets on the two-dimensional C5v Penrose and C8v Ammann-Beenker lattices. Beyond the Loudon-Fleury second-order perturbation scheme, two more symmetry species A1 and A2 become Raman-active to break the depolarized Loudon-Fleury Raman response of E2 symmetry. The A1 and A2 modes are activated by dynamic ring exchange and chiral spin fluctuations, respectively, the former of which owes much to multimagnon scatterings in a complicated manner, while the latter of which owes much to aperiodic arrangements of different rhombuses.
