classes of multiferroics

category of multiferroics


Type-I
FE, M order from different subsystem
Tc>>TN
Type-II
FE, M order from same subsystem, but independent origin

Tc>TN
Type-III
FE caused by M order
TC<=TN
SubType:I.1 Lone pair FE
II.1 Valence order of magnetic ions
III.1 Spiral Magnets
Example:
BiFeO3
TC: 1100
TN: 640 K
P: 100uC/cm^2 [Xu2009Ref]

Intro: perovskite, A disp along (111)
LuFe2O4
TCO: 320 K
TN: 240 K  [Xu2008]
P: 25 uC/cm2
TbMnO3
TN=41K
TC=28K
P: 6e-2 [Kimura2007]

Intro: inverse Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya effect. P~Qxe, where three symbols are ploarization, spiral propagation direction and normal vector of the spiral plan
Other Examples:
{BiMnO3, PbVO3}

Ni3V2O6, MnWO4, CuO
orthorhombic RMnO3 (R=Tb,Dy)
SubType:I.2 Geometric FE
III.2 frustrated collinear M
ExampleYMnO3
TC: 1200 K
TN: 42 K
P: 5 μC/cm^2 [VanAken2004]
Intro: perovskite, BO6 title, then A goes up and down asymmetrically

Ca3CoMnO6
TN, TC=16.5 K,
P: 9e-2 uC/cm2

Intro: magnetostriction
Other Examples:hexagonal RMnO3 (R=Ho-Lu)
RMn2O5 (R=Pr-Lu, Bi,Y)
