Terahertz detection of in-situ switching between antiferromagnetic domains in the multiferroic Ba$_2$CoGe$_2$O$_7$.
2021
Non-reciprocal directional dichroism assigns an optical diode-like property to non-centrosymmetric magnets, making them appealing for low-dissipation optical devices. However, the direct electric control of this phenomenon at constant temperatures is scarce. In Ba$_2$CoGe$_2$O$_7$, we demonstrate the isothermal electric switch between domains possessing opposite magnetoelectric susceptibilities. Combining THz spectroscopy and multiboson spin-wave analysis, we show that unbalancing the domain population realizes the non-reciprocal light absorption of spin excitations.
