Abstract
We present studies on the low-energy magnetic excitations in the Lieb-Mattis (LM) ferrimagnetic phase. We investigate the low-energy magnetic excitations in the mixed spin-() chain based on low-temperature specific heat and multifrequency electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements. A clear term is observed in the specific heat, which indicates a contribution of the low-energy magnetic excitation with a ferromagnetic quadratic dispersion expected in the LM ferrimagnetic state. Through the ESR mode analysis, we examine the effects of magnetic anisotropy on the excited states in the LM plateau phase.
