摘要：

We have identified the modes of multiferroic BiFeO3 measured by THz and Raman spectroscopies. Excellent agreement with the observed peaks is obtained by including the effects of easy-axis anisotropy along the direction of the electric polarization. By distorting the cycloidal spin state, anisotropy splits the Psi(perpendicular to 1) mode into peaks at 20 and 21.5 cm(-1) and activates the lower Phi(+/- 2) mode at 27 cm(-1) (T = 200 K). An electromagnon is identified with the upper Psi(+/- 1) mode at 21.5 cm(-1). Our results also explain recent inelastic neutron-scattering measurements. DOI:10.1103/PhysRevB.86.220402
