Tracking a hysteretic and disorder-broadened phase transition via the electromagnon response in improper ferroelectrics

We demonstrate that electromagnons can be used to directly probe the nature of a phase transition between magnetically ordered phases in an improper ferroelectric. The antiferromagnetic/paraelectric to antiferromagnetic/ferroelectric phase transition in Cu1−x Zn x O (x  =  0,0.05) alloys was tracked...
