Abstract

Electromagnon, magnetic excitation driven by an electric field of light, has been investigated for a series of perovskite manganites $R{\text{MnO}}_{3}$. Two distinct excitations commonly appear in the spiral spin-ordered state, and systematic changes in their peak positions and spectral weights were observed as a function of the radius of the $R$-ion or equivalently of spin-exchange interaction energies. By comparing the results with the spin-wave calculation based on the Heisenberg model, the higher-lying excitation is assigned to the zone-edge magnon. The strong electric-dipole activity of these magnetic excitations is discussed in terms of dynamic coupling among the collective modes.
