Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering was employed to study the magnetic excitations of Mn3+ dimers in LaMn0.1Ga0.9O3. The nearest-neighbor interaction of Mn3+ ions is ferromagnetic in the basal (a,b)-plane, but antiferromagnetic along the c-direction, thus two different types of dimer excitations are simultaneously present in the experiments. From the observed energy spectra we derive Heisenberg-type exchange interactions Jab=0.210(4) meV and Jc=-0.285(5) meV as well as an axial anisotropy parameter D=0.036(6) meV. These parameters considerably differ from those derived for the isostructural parent compound LaMnO3 due to structural effects.
