Abstract

We overview our recent studies of the electrodynamic response of multiferroic compounds. We report results of magnetic dynamics in multiferroic hexagonal manganite HoMnO3 by far-infrared spectroscopy in a magnetic field. Our results provide insight into the ferromagnetic nature of the rare-earth/Mn exchange that enables the electric-field control of magnetism in HoMnO3. In the multiferroic Ba0.6Sr1.4Zn2Fe12O22 we have observed a magnetic resonance using time domain pump-probe reflectance spectroscopy revealing the importance of the dynamic magnetoelectric effect which is a modulation of the dielectric tensor by magnetization precession. Our results highlight that magneto-electric dynamics manifest from the far-infrared through the visible and that both time-integrated and time-resolved spectroscopy are important tools in elucidating the microscopic properties of multiferroics.
