Title: Analytic description of spin waves in dipolar/octupolar pyrochlore magnets
(Submitted on 23 Dec 2020)
Abstract: We derive analytic forms for spin waves in pyrochlore magnets with dipolar-octupolar interactions, such as ${\rm Nd}_2{\rm Zr}_2{\rm O}_7$. We obtain full knowledge of the diagonalized magnonic Hamiltonian within the linear spin wave approximation. We also consider the effect of a "breathing mode" as a perturbation of this system. The breathing mode lifts the degeneracy of the upper band of the spin wave dispersion along the direction $X\to W$ in $k$-space.
