Recently, it was found that the polar ferrimagnet Mn2Mo3O8 shows large diagonal magnetoelectric effect [1]. However, the magnetic structure of this compound is not fully understood. The family of polar ferrimagnets M2Mo3O8 with M = Mn, Fe, Co or Ni are excellent materials to investigate the role of different magnetic ions in the microscopic origin of magnetoelectric effect.
In this work magnetization measurements and high magnetic field far infrared spectroscopy are used to unreveal the spin excitations in the low-field ferrimagnetic and in the spin-flop phases. From the magnetic field dependence of the magnon excitation energies we aim to determine the most important exchange and anisotropy parameters. With these parameters it is possible to construct a microscopic spin model of this compound.
