| contents | Rare-earth orthoferrites are a promising platform for antiferromagnetic spintronics with a rich variety of terahertz spin and lattice dynamics phenomena. For instance, it has been experimentally demonstrated that the light-driven optical phonons can coherently manipulate macroscopic magnetic states via nonlinear magnetophononic effects. Here using TbFeO$_{3}$ as an example, we reveal the origin of the mode mixing between the LO and TO phonons, which is important for understanding of nonlinear phononics. We performed a comprehensive study of the lattice dynamics of the TbFeO$_{3}$ single crystal by polarized infrared and Raman scattering spectroscopic techniques, and experimentally obtained and carefully analyzed the spectra of anisotropic complex dielectric functions in the far-infrared spectral range. This allowed us to reliably identify the symmetries and parameters of most infrared- and Raman-active phonons. Next, the experimental studies were supplemented by the lattice dynamics calculations which allowed us to propose the normal mode assignments. We reveal that the relation between LO and TO polar phonons is complex and does not strictly follow the ``LO-TO rule'' due to the strong mode mixing. We further analyze how displacements of different ions contribute to phonon modes and reveal that magnetic Fe ions are not involved in Raman-active phonons, thus shedding light on a lack of spin phonon coupling for such phonons. The obtained results establish a solid basis for further in-depth experimental research in the field of nonlinear phononics and magnetophononics in rare-earth orthoferrites. |
