  2. Outline • Introductiontononlinearoptics • Theoreticalbackground – selectionrules • The basic idea of theinstrumentalsetup • The structure of multiferroicmaterials • Examples: • Cr2O3 – domainstructure, spin orientationinspinflopphase • Hexagonalmanganites – spin orientation • YMnO3 – multiferrodomains

  3. Introductiontononlinearoptics • Goal: determination/analysis of magnetic and/orelectricorderingincrystalstrucutres • Ususalmethod: x-ray, electron, neutron diffraction → microscopicstructure • Nonlinearoptics: • spatialresolution: 1- 100 µm → visibledomainstructure • surfacesensitivity • symmetryconsiderations → resolution of structuralambiguities • temporalresolution: 1-10 fs → spin dynamics • faster, cheaper Howfast?
