Unusual behaviour of the spin-phonon coupling in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet RbCoCl3

Abstract We present an experimental and theoretical study for the lattice vibrational (phonon) modes in the quasi-one-dimensional (or chain-like) antiferromagnet RbCoCl3 at low temperatures both above and below the two different magnetic phase transitions. Clear evidence is found for the role of spi...
