T1 - Impact of temperature-dependent local and global spin order in \(R\)MnO\(_3\) compounds for spin-phonon coupling and electromagnon activity JF - New Journal of Physics N2 - The orthorhombic rare-earth manganite compounds \(R\)MnO\(_3\) show a global magnetic order for \(T\) < \(T\)\(_N\), and several representatives are multiferroic with a cycloidal spin ground state order for \(T\) < \(T\)\(_c\)\(_y\)\(_c\)\(_l\) < \(T\)\(_N\) \(\approx\) 40 K. We deduce from the temperature dependence of spin–phonon coupling in Raman spectroscopy for a series of \(R\)MnO\(_3\) compounds that their spin order locally persists up to about twice \(T\)\(_N\). Along the same line, our observation of the persistence of the electromagnon in GdMnO\(_3\) up to \(T\) \(\approx\) 100 K is attributed to a local cycloidal spin order for \(T\) > \(T\)\(_c\)\(_y\)\(_c\)\(_l\), in contrast to the hitherto assumed incommensurate sinusoidal phase in the intermediate temperature range. The development of the magnetization pattern can be described in terms of an order–disorder transition at \(T\)\(_c\)\(_y\)\(_c\)\(_l\) within a pseudospin model of localized spin cycloids with opposite chirality.
