Abstract

We observed Raman scattering from magnons in the frequency range from 10 to 65 cm[?]1 in BiFeO3 single crystals at cryogenic temperatures; the temperature dependence of the magnon frequency at 18.2 cm[?]1 approximates an S = 5/2 Brillouin function up to the temperature ([?]280 K) at which the magnon becomes overdamped. The diverging cross section and the frequency shift at [?]140 and [?]200 K implies a spin-reorientation transition as in orthoferrites.
