Abstract
Modern Terahertz-subTerahertz (THz-subTHz) spectrometers, based on continuously frequency-tunable coherent sources of radiation, the backward-wave oscillators (BWOs), are described which cover the frequencies v = 1 cm−1 − 50 cm−1 (0.03 − 1.5 THz) and allow for measurements at temperatures 2 − 1000 K, also in magnetic fields. They allow for direct determination of spectra of any optical parameter of a material at millimeter-submillimeter wavelengths, the domain where infrared or microwave spectrometers encounter serious methodological difficulties. We report on new technical abilities of the quasioptical BWO-spectrometers and discuss their main components. We demonstrate abilities of the THz-subTHz BWO-spectroscopy by presenting some latest results on measurements of dielectric, conducting, superconducting and magnetic materials.

On the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3: magnetic, dielectric and thermal properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and loss for a single crystalline BiFeO3 and found that at room temperature the loss is substantial and strongly frequency dependent, indicating the dominance of hopping conductivity.

Colossal Magnetoresistant Materials: The Key Role of Phase Separation

TL;DR: In this paper, a large variety of experiments reviewed in detail here contain results compatible with the theoretical predictions, including phase diagrams of manganite models, the stabilization of the charge/orbital/spin ordered half-doped correlated electronics (CE)-states, the importance of the naively small Heisenberg coupling among localized spins, the setup of accurate mean-field approximations, and the existence of a new temperature scale T∗ where clusters start forming above the Curie temperature, the presence of stripes in the system, and many others.

Effects of Double Exchange in Magnetic Crystals

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that mobile electrons always give rise to a distortion of the ground state spin arrangement, since electron transfer lowers the energy by a term of first order in the distortion angles.

Macroscopic measurement of resonant magnetization tunneling in high-spin molecules

TL;DR: It is proposed that these effects are manifestations of thermally assisted, field-tuned resonant tunneling between quantum spin states, and attribute the observation of quantum-mechanical phenomena on a macroscopic scale to tunneling in a large (Avogadro's) number of magnetically identical molecules.
