We report the intricate spectrum of magnetic excitations in the mixed-chain quantum magnet Cu₂(OH)₃Br. Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements in the frequency range between 0.1 and 1 THz reveal two distinct types of excitations: Low-energy modes of antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR), and a high-energy excitation multiplet. The latter was argued to stem from mixing between the spinons and magnons, based on the results of zero-field neutron spectroscopy [1]. Peculiarities of their behavior in magnetic fields up to 16 T are discussed.

This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft through the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence on Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter - ct.qmat (EXC 2147, project No. 390858490) and the SFB 1143, as well as by HLD at HZDR, member of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMFL).
