We control multiferroic domains with electric fields in the order of several kV/mm to investigate the rise time in dependency of temperature and field strength and analyze the spatial extend and the dynamics of the chiral domains in the multiferroic phase and in vicinity of the multiferroic transition. Polarized neutrons are the ideal tool to investigate the multiferroic domains and complete the dielectric data. With our time-resolved setup it is possible to follow the reversion of chiral domains in the timescale of a few hundred microseconds to hours and record full Bragg scans for peak profile analysis in the time domain. In TbMnO₃ we find a clear logarithmic relation between the rise time and temperature that is fulfilled over 5 orders of magnitude. In DyMnO₃ the multiferroic switching is slowed down by Mn-Dy coupling.
