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.

Using THz spectroscopy, we show that the spin-wave spectrum of multiferroic BiFeO$_3$ in its high-field canted antiferromagnetic state is well described by a spin model that violates rhombohedral symmetry. We demonstrate that the monoclinic distortio n of the canted antiferromagnetic state is induced by the single-ion magnetoelastic coupling between the lattice and the two nearly anti-parallel spins. The revised spin model for BiFeO$_3$ contains two new single-ion anisotropy terms that violate rhombohedral symmetry and depend on the direction of the magnetic field.

The magnetic and dielectric properties under high magnetic fields are studied in the single crystal of Cu3Mo2O9. This multiferroic compound has distorted tetrahedral spin chains. The effects of the quasi-one dimensionality and the geometrical spin fr ustration are expected to appear simultaneously. We measure the magnetoelectric current and the differential magnetization under the pulsed magnetic field up to 74 T. We also measure the electric polarization versus the electric field curve/loop under the static field up to 23 T. Dielectric properties change at the magnetic fields where the magnetization jumps are observed in the magnetization curve. Moreover, the magnetization plateaus are found at high magnetic fields.
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.
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 longitudin al 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.
The pressure dependence of light-induced effects in single-crystalline BiFeO$_3$ is studied by optical spectroscopy. At low pressures, we observe three light-induced absorption features with energies just below the two crystal field excitations and t he absorption onset, respectively. These absorption features were previously ascribed to excitons, possibly connected with the ultra-fast photostriction effect in BiFeO$_3$. The pressure-induced redshift of the absorption features follows the pressure dependence of the corresponding crystal field excitations and absorption onset, suggesting the link between them. Above the structural phase transition at $P_{mathrm{c1}}approx{}3.5$ GPa the three absorption features disappear, suggesting their connection to the polar phase in BiFeO$_3$. The pressure-induced disappearance of the photo-induced features is irreversible upon pressure release.
