摘要: Ultrasonic velocity data obtained on CuFeO2 are re-analyzed in the context of a Landau free energy which includes spin-lattice coupling. This comprehensive model simultaneously accounts for elastic and magnetic properties at zero field. Softening constants C11, C44, especially C66, ineluctably indicates that R3m ? C2/m structural transition TN1 = 13.7 K is primarily pseudoproper ferroelastic. The present analysis also suggests anomalies observed TN2 dominated by magnetoelastic coupling strengthens conclusion unusual consequence interplay between its magnetism deformations.
