The Center for Solid State Physics and New Materials (CSSPNM) at the Institute of Physics Belgrade (IPB) organized a seminar titled “Raman Spectroscopy as a Tool for Studying Spin–Phonon Coupling in Multiferroic Nanomaterials,” delivered by Dr. Bojan Stojadinović (IPB).

The talk addressed spin–phonon interactions in nanostructured multiferroic and magnetic materials and highlighted the role of Raman spectroscopy as a sensitive method for detecting temperature-dependent shifts of optical phonon frequencies, particularly near magnetic phase transitions. These effects reflect changes in spin–spin correlations and allow the analysis of the strength of spin–phonon coupling.

The research includes materials such as BiFeO₃ and related magnetic oxides like rare-earth iron garnets, where interactions between the lattice and magnetic subsystems arise from strongly correlated d- and f-electrons.

The seminar was organized as part of the seminar series of the CSSPNM and within the HIP-2D-QM project, funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe ERA Chair programme.
