Abstract

We have studied a commensurate to incommensurate transition in the novel helimagnet CuB₂O₄ by means of high-frequency ESR. In the commensurate weak ferromagnetic (CWF) state, two ESR modes have been found at low temperatures, which are explained in terms of an electron paramagnetic resonance of the Cu²⁺ spins at 8d-sites and an antiferromagnetic resonance of the magnetically ordered Cu²⁺ spins at 4b-sites with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. The DM interaction among the Cu ²⁺ spins at 4b-sites that carries the CWF state is evaluated quantitatively. The incommensurate helimagnetic state is discussed in terms of the magnetic frustration.
