We present a study of terahertz frequency magnetoelectric effect in ferrimagnetic pyroelectric CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$ and its Ni-doped variants. The terahertz absorption spectrum of these materials consists of spin excitations and low-frequency infrared-active phonons. We studied the magnetic-field-induced changes in the terahertz refractive index and absorption in magnetic fields up to 17 T. We find that the magnetic field modulates the strength of infrared-active optical phonons near 1.2 and 1.6 THz. We use the Lorentz model of the dielectric function to analyze the measured magnetic-field dependence of the refractive index and absorption. We propose that most of the magnetoelectric effect is contributed by the optical phonons near 1.6 THz and higher-frequency resonances. Our experimental results can be used to construct and validate more detailed theoretical descriptions of magnetoelectricity in CaBaCo$_{4-x}$Ni$_x$O$_7$.

Distinctive effects of dopant valency is discussed using an impurity level 1% doping each of Cr$^{3+}$ and Ni$^{2+}$ in CaBaCo$_4$O$_7$. Through a comparative study of the magnetic and dielectric properties of multiferroic CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$O
$_7$ and CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$O$_7$, we highlight that Cr doping does not significantly alter the properties in spite of differences in magnetic spin and ionic radius compared to Co$^{3+}$ and Co$^{2+}$ while Ni doping induces spectacular changes. Particularly, a manifold increase of electric polarization change up to 650 ${rm mu}$C/m$^2$ at 5.6 kV/cm is observed in CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Ni$_{0.04}$O$_7$ compared to CaBaCo$_{3.96}$Cr$_{0.04}$O$_7$ and a stronger magnetoelectric coupling leading to a polarization change of $sim$ 12% in 15 T magnetic field and below 40 K. Further, magnetodielectric effects hint to competing magnetic phases over the temperature range of magnetic transitions. We discuss the observed disparity in the light of a possible site selective doping of Cr$^{3+}$ and Ni$^{2+}$ in the triangular and kagome layers, respectively, of the parent compound.
Competing exchange interactions can produce complex magnetic states together with spin-induced electric polarizations. With competing interactions on alternating triangular and kagome layers, the swedenborgite CBO may have one of the largest measured
spin-induced polarizations of about 1700 nC/cm$^2$ below its ferrimagnetic transition temperature at 70 K. Powder neutron-diffraction data, magnetization measurements, and spin-wave resonance frequencies in the THz range reveal that the complex spin order of multiferroic CBO can be described as a triangular array of c-axis chains ferrimagnetically coupled to each other in the ab plane. Magnetostriction on bonds that couple those chains produces the large spin-induced polarization of CBO.
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments were performed to investigate the spin dynamics in magnetoelectric effect (ME) LiCoPO$_4$ single crystals. Weak dispersion was detected in the magnetic excitation spectra along the three principal crysta
llographic axes measured around the (0 1 0) magnetic reflection. Analysis of the data using linear spin-wave theory indicate that single-ion anisotropy in LiCoPO$_4$ is as important as the strongest nearest-neighbor exchange coupling. Our results suggest that Co$^{2+}$ single-ion anisotropy plays an important role in the spin dynamics of LiCoPO$_4$ and must be taken into account in understanding its physical properties. High resolution INS measurements reveal an anomalous low energy excitation that we hypothesize may be related to the magnetoelectric effect of LiCoPO$_4$.
Ab initio calculations have been performed to unravel the origin of the recently found superlattice peaks in the trilayer nickelate La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_8$. These peaks arise from static charge ordering of Ni$^{2+}$/ Ni$^{1+}$ stripes oriented at 45$^{circ
}$ to the Ni-O bonds. An insulating state originates from a combination of structural distortions and magnetic order, with the gap being formed solely within the d$_{x^2-y^2}$ manifold of states. When doped, electrons or holes would go into these states, in a similar fashion to what occurs in the cuprates. Analogous calculations suggest that checkerboard charge order should occur in the bilayer nickelate La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_6$. These results reveal a close connection between La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_8$ and La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_6$ with La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_4$ for x=1/3 and x=1/2, respectively.
Neutron diffraction with static and pulsed magnetic fields is used to directly probe the magnetic structures in LiNiPO$_4$ up to 25T and 42T, respectively. By combining these results with magnetometry and electric polarization measurements under puls
ed fields, the magnetic and magnetoelectric phases are investigated up to 56T applied along the easy $c$-axis. In addition to the already known transitions at lower fields, three new ones are reported at 37.6, 39.4 and 54T. Ordering vectors are identified with ${bf Q}_{mathrm{VI}}$ = (0, 1/3, 0) in the interval 37.6--39.4T and ${bf Q}_{mathrm{VII}}$ = (0, 0, 0) in the interval 39.4-54T. A quadratic magnetoelectric effect is discovered in the ${bf Q}_{mathrm{VII}}$ = (0, 0, 0) phase and the field-dependence of the induced electric polarization is described using a simple mean-field model. The observed magnetic structure and magnetoelectric tensor elements point to a change in the lattice symmetry in this phase. We speculate on the possible physical mechanism responsible for the magnetoelectric effect in LiNiPO4.
