Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been used to study lattice dynamics associated with the ferroelectric domains of a BiFeO$_3$ single crystal at low temperature. The phonon assignment shows a large frequency splitting between the transverse and longitudinal components of the A$_1$ phonon mode related to the Bi-O bonds in contrast with thin films where the splitting is negligible. Applying an external electric field induces frequency shifts of the low energy modes related to the Bi-O bonds. These softenings are due to a tensile stress via the piezoelectric effect. We give estimates of the phonon deformation potentials.

We have studied the magnetic field dependence of far-infrared active magnetic modes in a single ferroelectric domain BFO/ crystal at low temperature. The modes soften close to the critical field of 18.8,T along the [001] (pseudocubic) axis, where the
cycloidal structure changes to the homogeneous canted antiferromagnetic state and a new strong mode with linear field dependence appears that persists at least up to 31,T. A microscopic model that includes two DM/ interactions and easy-axis anisotropy describes closely both the zero-field spectroscopic modes as well as their splitting and evolution in a magnetic field. The good agreement of theory with experiment suggests that the proposed model provides the foundation for future technological applications of this multiferroic material.
We have performed Raman scattering investigations on the high energy magnetic excitations in a BiFeO$_3$ single crystal as a function of both temperature and laser excitation energy. A strong feature observed at 1250 cm$^{-1}$ in the Raman spectra ha
s been previously assigned to two phonon overtone. We show here that its unusual frequency shift with the excitation energy and its asymmetric temperature dependent Fano lineshape reveal a strong coupling to magnetic excitations. In the same energy range, we have also identified the two-magnon excitation with a temperature dependence very similar to $alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ hematite.
Magnetization measurements and time-of-flight neutron powder-diffraction studies on the high-temperature (300--980 K) magnetism and crystal structure (321--1200 K) of a pulverized YCrO$_3$ single crystal have been performed. Temperature-dependent inv
erse magnetic susceptibility coincides with a piecewise linear function with five regimes, with which we fit a Curie-Weiss law and calculate the frustration factor $f$. The fit results indicate a formation of magnetic polarons between 300 and 540 K and a very strong magnetic frustration. By including one factor $eta$ that represents the degree of spin interactions into the Brillouin function, we can fit well the applied-magnetic-field dependence of magnetization. No structural phase transition was observed from 321 to 1200 K. The average thermal expansions of lattice configurations (emph{a}, emph{b}, emph{c}, and emph{V}) obey well the Gr$ddot{textrm{u}}$neisen approximations with an anomaly appearing around 900 K, implying an isosymmetric structural phase transition, and display an anisotropic character along the crystallographic emph{a}, emph{b}, and emph{c} axes with the incompressibility $K^a_0 > K^c_0 > K^b_0$. It is interesting to find that at 321 K, the local distortion size $Delta$(O2) $approx$ 1.96$Delta$(O1) $approx$ 4.32$Delta$(Y) $approx$ 293.89$Delta$(Cr). Based on the refined Y-O and Cr-O bond lengths, we deduce the local distortion environments and modes of Y, Cr, O1, and O2 ions. Especially, the Y and O2 ions display obvious atomic displacement and charge subduction, which may shed light on the dielectric property of the YCrO$_3$ compound. Additionally, by comparing Kramers Mn$^{3+}$ with non-Kramers Cr$^{3+}$ ions, it is noted that being a Kramers or non-Kramers ion can strongly affect the local distortion size, whereas, it may not be able to change the detailed distortion mode.
We show herein fabrication and field-modulated thermopower for KTaO3 single-crystal based field-effect transistors (FETs). The KTaO3 FET exhibits field effect mobility of ~8 cm2/Vs, which is ~4 times larger than that of SrTiO3 FETs. The thermopower o
f the KTaO3 FET decreased from 600 to 220 microV/K by the application of gate electric field up to 1.5 MV/cm, ~400 microV/K below that of an SrTiO3 FET, clearly reflecting the smaller carrier effective mass of KTaO3.
We systematically examine uncertainties from fitting rare earth single-ion crystal electric field (CEF) Hamiltonians to inelastic neutron scattering data. Using pyrochlore and delafossite structures as test cases, we find that uncertainty in CEF para
meters can be large despite visually excellent fits. These results show Yb$^{3+}$ compounds have particularly large $g$-tensor uncertainty because of the few available peaks. In such cases, additional constraints are necessary for meaningful fits.
