Magnetic excitations in the symmetry protected, topological Haldane phase of SrNi2V2O8 — Vladimir Gnezdilov1,2, Vladimir Kurnosov2, •Peter Lemmens1, A. K. Bera3, A. T. M. N. Islam3, and Bella Lake3 — 1TU-BS, Braunschweig — 2ILTP Kharkov — 3HZB Berlin
We report results of a single-crystal Raman scattering study of the coupled spin-1 Haldane chain compound SrNi2V2O8. In addition to the one-and two-magnon excitations, broad gapless and temperature dependent continua are detected with light polarization parallel to the basal plane. This feature is discussed in terms of spinon-like excitations related to a symmetry protected topological state, of which the Haldane phase in 1D is a preeminent example.
