Multiferroics, materials with coexisting ferroelectric and magnetic order, are one of the most intensively studied systems in modern solid-state physics. BiFeO3 is one of the most studied multiferroic material since its multiferroic phase persists also at room temperature [1].
A recent theoretical model [2] predicted a conical phase between the cycloidal and canted AFM phase in BiFeO3. Magnetization measurements up to 300K have already confirmed the existence of this intermediate phase [3].
We performed THz absorption measurements at temperatures between 5-350K, and observed the magnon spectrum of the conical phase. The phase transitions and their hysteresis were observed at 300 and 350K.
