| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cesium molybdate iron CsFe(MoO4)2 was successfully grown by the flux method using molybdic acid as flux. Magnetization measurements and dielectric constant measurements using this single crystal were carried out. Dielectric anomalies accompanying antiferromagnetic transition forming the 120 degrees spin structure were observed. From the consideration of the magnetic phase diagram, the result of the dielectric constant measurements and the magnetic structure, it was revealed that CsFe(MoO4)2 is highly likely to exhibit multiferroics originating from in-plane spin chirality. CsFe(MoO4)2 becomes the discovery of second case as multiferroic material of spin chirality origin.
