We investigated static and dynamic magnetoelectric properties of single crystalline BaSrCoZnFe$_{11}$AlO$_{22}$ which is a room-temperature multiferroic with Y-type hexaferrite crystal structure. Below $300,rm K$, a purely electric-dipole-active electromagnon at $approx 1.2,rm THz$ with the electric polarization oscillating along the hexagonal axis was observed by THz and Raman spectroscopies. We investigated the behavior of the electromagnon with applied DC magnetic field and linked its properties to static measurements of the magnetic structure. Our analytical calculations determined selection rules for electromagnons activated by the magnetostriction mechanism in various magnetic structures of Y-type hexaferrite. Comparison with our experiment supports that the electromagnon is indeed activated by the magnetostriction mechanism involving spin vibrations along the hexagonal axis.

We studied experimentally the high-temperature magnetoelectric $({rm Ba}_{x}{rm Sr}_{1-x})_3rm Co_2Fe_{24}O_{41}$ prepared as ceramics (x = 0, 0.2) and a single crystal (x = 0.5) using inelastic neutron scattering, THz time-domain, Raman and far-infr
ared spectroscopies. The spectra, measured with varying temperature and magnetic field, reveal rich information about the collective spin and lattice excitations. In the ceramics, we observed an infrared-active magnon which is absent in $E^{omega}perp z$ polarized THz spectra of the crystal, and we assume that it is an electromagnon active in $E^{omega} | z$ polarized spectra. On heating from 7 to 250 K, the frequency of this electromagnon drops from 36 to 25 cm$^{-1}$ and its damping gradually increases, so it becomes overdamped at room temperature. Applying external magnetic field has a similar effect on the damping and frequency of the electromagnon, and the mode is no more observable in the THz spectra above 2 T, as the transverse-conical magnetic structure transforms into a collinear one. Raman spectra reveal another spin excitation with a slightly different frequency and much higher damping. Upon applying magnetic field higher than 3 T, in the low-frequency part of the THz spectra, a narrow excitation appears whose frequency linearly increases with magnetic field. We interpret this feature as the ferromagnetic resonance.
We use first-principles total-energy calculations based on density functional theory to study the site occupancy and magnetic properties of Al-substituted $M$-type strontium hexaferrite SrFe$_{12-x}$Al$_{x}$O$_{19}$ with $x=0.5$ and $x=1.0$. We find
that the non-magnetic Al$^{3+}$ ions preferentially replace Fe$^{3+}$ ions at two of the majority spin sites, $2a$ and $12k$, eliminating their positive contribution to the total magnetization causing the saturation magnetization $M_s$ to be reduced as Al concentration $x$ is increased. Our formation probability analysis further provides the explanation for increased magnetic anisotropy field when the fraction of Al is increased. Although Al$^{3+}$ ions preferentially occupy the $2a$ sites at a low temperature, the occupation probability of the $12k$ site increases with the rise of the temperature. At a typical annealing temperature ($> 700,^{circ}{rm C}$) Al$^{3+}$ ions are much more likely to occupy the $12k$ site than the $2a$ site. Although this causes the magnetocrystalline anisotropy $K_1$ to be reduced slightly, the reduction in $M_s$ is much more significant. Their combined effect causes the anisotropy field $H_a$ to increase as the fraction of Al is increased, consistent with recent experimental measurements.
Electromagnons are known from multiferroics as spin waves excited by the electric component of electromagnetic radiation. We report the discovery of an excitation in the far-infrared spectra of eps-Fe2O3 which we attribute to an electromagnon appeari
ng below 110 K, where the ferrimagnetic structure becomes incommensurately modulated. Inelastic neutron scattering shows that the electromagnon energy corresponds to that of a magnon from the Brillouin zone boundary. Dielectric measurements did not reveal any sign of ferroelectricity in eps-Fe2O3 down to 10 K, despite its acentric crystal structure. This shows that the activation of an electromagnon requires, in addition to the polar ferrimagnetic structure, a modulation of the magnetic structure. We demonstrate that a combination of inelastic neutron scattering with infrared and / or terahertz spectroscopies allows detecting electromagnons in ceramics, where no crystal-orientation analysis of THz and infrared spectra is possible.
We examined the formation mechanisms of magnetic bubbles in an M-type hexaferrite via Lorentz microscopy. When magnetic fields were perpendicularly applied to a thin sample of BaFe$_{12-x-0.05}$Sc$_x$Mg$_{0.05}$O$_{19}$ ($x = 1.6$), Bloch lines, whic
h were identified as reversals of domain-wall chirality, appeared, and magnetic bubbles were formed when the magnetic stripes were pinched off at these Bloch lines. The number of Bloch lines increased with the amount of Sc in BaFe$_{12-x-0.05}$Sc$_x$Mg$_{0.05}$O$_{19}$ probably because of the reduction in magnetic anisotropy. A Lorentz microscopic observation revealed that Bloch lines with high magnetostatic energy may play an important role in the formation of magnetic bubbles.
Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) has been investigated in thin films of two Y-hexagonal ferrites Ba$_2$Zn$_{2}$Fe$_{12}$O$_{22}$ (Zn2Y) and Ba$_2$Co$_{2}$Fe$_{12}$O$_{22}$ (Co2Y) deposited by a spin-coating method on SrTiO$_3$(111) substrate. The selected h
exagonal ferrites are both ferrimagnetic with similar magnetic moments at room temperature and both exhibit easy magnetization plane normal to $c$-axis. Despite that, SSE signal was only observed for Zn2Y, whereas no significant SSE signal was detected for Co2Y. We tentatively explain this different behavior by a presence of two different magnetic ions in Co2Y, whose random distribution over octahedral sites interferes the long range ordering and enhances the Gilbert damping constant. The temperature dependence of SSE for Zn2Y was measured and analyzed with regard to the heat flux and temperature gradient relevant to the SSE signal.
