摘要
We present a theoretical study of the spin dynamics in perovskite-like multiferroics with homogeneous magnetic order in the presence of external magnetic and electric fields. A particular example of such material is BeFeO3 in which the spin cycloid can be suppressed by application of external magnetic field, doping or by epitaxial strain. Understanding the effect of the external electric field on the spin-wave spectrum of these systems is required for devices based on spin wave interference and other innovative advances of magnonics and spintronics. Thus, we propose a model for BiFeO3 in which the thermodynamic potential is expressed in terms of polarization P, antiferrodistortion Omega, antiferromagnetic moment L and magnetization M. Based on this model, we derive the corresponding equations of motion and demonstrate the existence of electromagnons, that is, magnons that can be excited by electric fields. These excitations are closely related to the magnetoelectric effect and the dynamics of the antiferrodistortion Omega. Specifically, the influence of the external electric field on the magnon spectra is due to reorientation of both polarization P and antiferrodistortion Omega under the influence of the electric field and is linked to emergence of a field-induced anisotropy.
