First-principles approach to lattice-mediated magnetoelectric effects.
We present a first-principles scheme for the computation of the linear magnetoelectric response of magnetic insulators. We focus on the lattice-mediated part of the response, which we argue can be expected to be dominant in materials displaying strong magnetoelectric couplings. We apply our method to Cr2O3 and show that its low-temperature response has a significant lattice character.

متن کاملFirst-principles calculation of the bulk magnetoelectric monopolization: Berry phase and Wannier function approaches
We present a formalism to calculate the macroscopic magnetoelectric monopolization from first principles within the density functional theory framework. An expression for the monopolization in the case of insulating collinear magnetism is derived first in terms of spin-polarized Wannier functions then recast as a Berry phase. We propose an extension to the general, non-collinear case which we i...
متن کاملMagnetoelectric Cr2O3 and relativity theory
Relativity theory is useful for understanding the phenomenology of the magnetoelectric effect of the antiferromagnet chromium sesquioxide Cr2O3 in two respects: (i) One gets a clear idea about the physical dimensions of the electromagnetic quantities involved, in particular about the dimensions of the magnetoelectric moduli that we suggest to tabulate in future as dimensionless relative quantit...
متن کاملMagnetoelectric switching of exchange bias.
The perpendicular exchange bias field, H(EB), of the magnetoelectric heterostructure Cr2O3(111)/(Co/Pt)(3) changes sign after field cooling to below the Néel temperature of Cr2O3 in either parallel or antiparallel axial magnetic and electric freezing fields. The switching of H(EB) is explained by magnetoelectrically induced antiferromagnetic single domains which extend to the interface, where t...
