Abstract:
In this paper, we study conically spiral multiferroic magnets with coupled magnetic and ferroelectric orders. By generalizing the spin-current model, we study spin wave excitations and electromagnons. We find that the electromagnon mode will split into two branches with different dispersions in an (external or internal) magnetic field. We apply our theory to some multiferroic materials and find that the results qualitatively agree with recent experiments. We also make predictions for new experiments.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
