- Infrared reflectivity and time-domain terahertz transmission spectra of EuTiO3 ceramics revealed a polar optic phonon at 6-300K whose softening is fully responsible for the recently observed quantum paraelectric behaviour. Even if our EuTiO3 ceramics show lower permittivity than the single crystal due to a reduced density and/ or small amount of secondary pyrochlore Eu2Ti2O7 phase, we confirmed a magnetic field dependence of the permittivity, also slightly smaller than in single crystal. An attempt to reveal the soft phonon dependence at 1.8K on the magnetic field up to 13T remained below the accuracy of our infrared reflectivity experiment.

- The hexaferrite system (Ba1-xSrx)(2)Zn2Fe12O22 possesses a rich magnetic phase diagram and for strontium content x=0.75 exhibits a magnetoelectricity, the existence of which is intimately connected to the noncollinear arrangement of the iron spins. The system comprises seven cation sublattices, two of which have tetrahedral coordination. The tetrahedral sublattices are partly occupied by Fe and partly by Zn. Using ab initio-calculated exchange interactions we show that the magnetism in the (Ba1-xSrx)(2)Zn2Fe12O22 system is sensitive to the Fe and Zn distributions. The region of existence of the noncollinear spin structure and hence of ferroelectricity is determined and found to be rather narrow. The critical temperature of magnetic ordering is calculated using molecular field and random phase approximations. The results are in good agreement with the experiment.
