Research Abstract |
We performed dielectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric studies of a series of manganites with a formula of RMn_2O_5, where R is a rare earth between Eu and Yb, Y or Bi. In addition to the development of helimagnetic ordering of Mn spins and that of rare earth spins at lower temperature, we obtained the evidences of successive structural transitions, where these crystals tuned into ferroelectric. The origin of the spontaneous polarization was considered to be the displacements of three different kind of metallic ions Mn^3+'s, Mn^<4+>'s and R^<3+>'s. The lower magnetic transition, where the spins of R^<3+> order is generally accompanied with a structural transition with a large change in spontaneous transition.
