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 کاملDynamical magnetoelectric effects induced by the Dzyaloshinskii- Moriya interaction in multiferroics
We study the dynamical interplay between ferroelectricity and magnetism in a multiferroic with a helical magnetic order. We show that the dynamical exchange-striction induces a biquadratic interaction between the spins and transverse phonons resulting in quantum fluctuations of the spontaneous ferroelectric polarization P in the ferroelectric phase. The hybridization between the spin wave and t...
متن کاملTunable ferroelectricity in artificial tri-layer superlattices comprised of non-ferroic components.
Heterostructured material systems devoid of ferroic components are presumed not to display ordering associated with ferroelectricity. In heterostructures composed of transition metal oxides, however, the disruption introduced by an interface can affect the balance of the competing interactions among electronic spins, charges and orbitals. This has led to the emergence of properties absent in th...
متن کاملAn effective model of magnetoelectricity in multiferroics RMn2O5
An effective model is developed to explain the phase diagram and the mechanism of magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroics, RMn2O5. We show that the nature of magnetoelectric coupling in RMn2O5 is a coupling between two Ising-type orders, namely, the ferroelectric order in the b-axis, and the.coupled magnetic order between two frustrated antiferromagnetic chains. The frustrated magnetic struct...
متن کاملDual nature of improper ferroelectricity in a magnetoelectric multiferroic.
Using first-principles calculations, we study the microscopic origin of ferroelectricity (FE) induced by magnetic order in the orthorhombic HoMnO3. We obtain the largest ferroelectric polarization observed in the whole class of improper magnetic ferroelectrics to date. We find that the two proposed mechanisms for FE in multiferroics, lattice and electronic based, are simultaneously active in th...
