  44. Part 3 External Pressure Effects on YMnO3 • Mixing of magnetic structure Γ1 Γ1+ Γ2: for 2.5 GPa, μord = 1.52 μB with F=60o at 10K: • Diffuse scattering enhanced with pressure

  45. Summary • Spin liquid phase evidenced by the diffuse peaks scatters acoustic phonons through unusually strong spin-phonon coupling, which then gives rise to a significant reduction in thermal conductivity in the paramagnetic phase. • We have shown that below TN the magnetic moments of YMnO3 and LuMnO3 are strongly coupled to the lattice degrees of freedom with further coupling to the ferroelectric moments. However, an underlying microscopic mechanism for such a coupling is not clear yet. • The magnetic ground states of RMnO3 are so subtle that even a small doping can induce mixing between different magnetic states.
