Abstract
- Two-dimensional magnetic materials provide an ideal platform to explore collective many-body excitations associated with spin fluctuations. In particular, it should be feasible to explore, manipulate and ultimately design magnonic excitations in two-dimensional van der Waals magnets in a controllable way. Here we demonstrate the emergence of moir\'e magnon excitations, stemming from the interplay of spin-excitations in monolayer CrBr$_3$ and the moir\'e pattern stemming from the lattice mismatch with the underlying substrate. The existence of moir\'e magnons is further confirmed via inelastic quasiparticle interference, showing the appearance of a dispersion pattern correlated with the moir\'e length scale. Our results provide a direct visualization in real-space of the dispersion of moir\'e magnons, demonstrating the versatility of moir\'e patterns in creating emerging many-body excitations.
