Abstract
Cu2Fe2Ge4O13 is a quantum magnet consisting of Cu spin dimers and Fe spin chains. It shows an antiferromagnetic phase transition at low temperatures due to the magnetic moment of Fe. Since the two parts are weakly coupled, magnetic excitations are well separated into high-energy Cu dimer part and low-energy Fe chain part. We study the magnetic excitations in the ordered phase of Cu2Fe2Ge4O13 based on a theory used for coupled spin dimer systems such as TlCuCl3. Analyzing the dynamical spin correlation functions, we find several high-energy modes with longitudinal spin fluctuations peculiar to the coupled spin dimer and spin chain system. This is consistent with the recent experimental result of inelastic neutron scattering. A possibility to detect such longitudinal modes is discussed by means of magnetic Raman scattering.
