Research Abstract |
Many accomplishments on magnetic ferroelectrics have been obtained. The mechanism of magnetic-field-induced 90-degree rotation of electric polarization has been elucidated by experimental and theoretical investigations. Based on the knowledge, new magnetic ferroelectrics including a room-temperature multiferroic have been developed. As for the giant magneto-electric effects, the reversal in electric polarization induced by a fine tuning of magnetic field direction has been achieved. We have also succeeded in controlling the magnetization direction in CuB_2O_4 as well as the helicity in several helimagnets with the application of an electric field. The low-energy excitation in a representative spin-driven ferroelectric TbMnO_3 has been also studied by inelastic x-ray and neutron scattering as well as THz-light absorption, which provides useful information about the electro-magnons. Through theoretical studies, we propose a new mechanism of spin-driven ferroelectricity. We have also found a strong coupling between spin and ferroelectricity in a triangular lattice with charge-order instability.
