Coherent magnon and acoustic phonon dynamics in tetragonal and rare-earth-doped BiFeO3 multiferroic thin films

Coherent magnons and acoustic phonons were impulsively excited and probed in thin films of the room temperature multiferroic Bi1-x-yDy xLayFeO3 using femtosecond laser pulses. The elastic moduli of rhombohedral, tetragonal, and rare-earth doped BiFeO 3 were determined from acoustic-mode frequencies...
