Multiferroic bulk materials with a conical spin structure are investigated in the framework of a many-particle approach. The analysis of the ferroelectric subsystem is based on a two-state quantum model. Magnetic moments interact via the Heisenberg model. The canting of the spins is incorporated by the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction. A representation of the spin operators with an arbitrary quantization axis is chosen. Minimizing the free energy yields the direction of the quantization axis. The multiferroic coupling term is discussed. A Green’s function technique in reciprocal space provides the temperature dependence of the magnetization, polarization and the energy of the excitations.
