With the overall goal of understanding the multiferroic mechanism, we investigate the underlying magnetic states for "improper" multiferroic materials through modeling for inelastic neutron scattering data. From a standard isotropic hamiltonian, examing the effects of anisotropy and external fields on these states. Furthermore, we expand to intrinsic symmetry breaking by examing interfacial multiferroics.
