摘要：

In this paper detailed neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitation spectrum of CuCrO2 in the ordered state below T-N1 = 24.2 K are presented. The spectra are analyzed using a model Hamiltonian which includes intralayer exchange up to the next-next-nearest neighbor and interlayer exchange. We obtain a definite parameter set and show that exchange interaction terms beyond the next-nearest neighbor are important to describe the inelastic excitation spectrum. The magnetic ground state structure generated with our parameter set is in agreement with the structure proposed for CuCrO2 from the results of single crystal diffraction experiments previously published. We argue that the role of the interlayer exchange is crucial to understand the incommensurability of the magnetic structure as well as the spin-charge coupling mechanism.
