Magnetic excitations in two-leg and four-leg spin ladders — •Tamara Nunner1, Thilo Kopp1, and Markus Grüninger2 — 1EP VI, EKM, Universität Augsburg, 86135 Augsburg — 2II. Phys. Inst., Universtität zu Köln, 50937 Köln
Phonon assisted magnetic absorption provides a powerful tool to investigate the magnetic excitations of low dimensional antiferromagnets. In the two-dimensional undoped cuprates a bimagnon resonance has been identified[1] but the higher energy resonances are still unexplained[2]. In two-leg spin ladders a two-triplet bound state and a large continuum contribution has been observed[3], which is mainly due to three-triplet excitations[4]. Here, we use the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) to investigate similar magnetic excitations in four-leg spin-ladders and discuss the crossover from two-leg ladders to the two-dimensional undoped cuprates.
