Experimental discovery <strong>of</strong> a new fundamental excitation – The electromagnon<br />

Theoretically predicted in 1970:<br />

<br />

Hybrid excitation <strong>of</strong> a phonon <strong>and</strong> a magnon<br />

due to strong spin-phonon coupling<br />

Low-energy excitation (10 ... 20 cm -1 ) predicted in optical experiments<br />
