Broadband dielectric spectroscopy on multiferroic compounds — •Daniel Niermann, Max Schalenbach, Christoph Grams, Florian Waschkowski, and Joachim Hemberger — II. Physikalisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, Deutschland

Studying the dynamic dielectric response of given materials provides extensive insight in charge-carrier properties and involved relaxation processes. It was recently shown on the example of the perovskite rare-earth manganites that the occurrence of the multiferroic phase transition is often coupled to characteristic changes of relaxation dynamics [1]. We studied the frequency dependent dielectric properties of the multiferroic compounds LuFe₂O₄ and MnWO₄. To cover a wide frequency range from mHz to several GHz different setups for low-frequency impedance analysis and microwave spectroscopy were used. For the microwave regime we show transmission-measurements using a new microstrip-sampleholder, which allows a high measuring sensitivity for high-impedance samples. The measurements are performed at cryogenic temperatures down to 1.8K and high magnetic fields up to 14T. This work was supported by the DFG through SFB 608.
