Description

The Spin Supercurrent and Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons, similar to an atomic BEC, was observed in 1984 in superfluid 3He-B The same phenomena should exist in solid magnetic systems. We describe here the first observation of magnon BEC in solid easy plain antiferromagnet CsMnF3. We have observed magnon BEC on a mode of coupled Nuclear-Electron precession. The dynamical properties of this mode have many similarities with NMR of superfluid 3He-A The frequency changes with deflection of nuclear magnetization. Furthermore, the involvement of electron ordered subsystem gives the magnon-magnon interaction, spin waves and spin supercurrent, while the nuclear subsystem gives the relatively long time of relaxation.
