Dynamical magnetoelectric coupling in helical magnets.
We develop a theory of collective mode dynamics in the helical magnets coupled to electric polarization via spin-orbit interaction. The low-lying modes associated with the ferroelectricity are not the transverse optical phonons, but are the spin waves hybridized with the electric polarization. This hybridization leads to the Drude-like dielectric function epsilon(omega) in the limit of zero mag...
متن کاملGeneral theory for the ferroelectric polarization induced by spin-spiral order.
The ferroelectric polarization of triangular-lattice antiferromagnets induced by helical spin-spiral order is not explained by any existing model of magnetic-order-driven ferroelectricity. We resolve this problem by developing a general theory for the ferroelectric polarization induced by spin-spiral order and then by evaluating the coefficients needed to specify the general theory on the basis...
متن کاملTuning magnetic spirals beyond room temperature with chemical disorder
In the past years, magnetism-driven ferroelectricity and gigantic magnetoelectric effects have been reported for a number of frustrated magnets featuring ordered spiral magnetic phases. Such materials are of high-current interest due to their potential for spintronics and low-power magnetoelectric devices. However, their low-magnetic ordering temperatures (typically <100 K) greatly restrict the...
متن کاملMultiferroicity due to nonstoichiometry in the chain cuprate LiVCuO4
The recently observed multiferroic behavior in the s=1/2 chain cuprate LiVCuO4 (≡ LiCuVO4) with edge-shared CuO4 plaquettes and helical spin ordering does not agree with the existing theories such as a spin-current scenario. We argue that the effect can be consistently explained, if the exchange-induced electric polarization on the out-of-chain Cu centers substituting for Li-ions in LiVCuO4 is ...
متن کاملTransition metal oxides: multiferroics go high-TC.
The discovery by Tsuyoshi Kimura and colleagues of a multiferroic coupling in cupric oxide up to 230 K, as reported on page 291 of this issue1, is all the more remarkable as physicists had been wondering for a long time if it is possible at all to align electric dipoles by magnetic fields or change the direction of magnetization by applying voltage. To some, such a magnetoelectric coupling may ...
