Critical behavior of multiferroic hexagonal RMnO3

Abstract: Using a microscopic model and a Green's function technique we have studied the critical behavior of some multiferroics such as hexagonal RMnO3. The temperature dependence and the external field dependence of the magnetization and susceptibility are determined. The critical exponents β and γ are calculated. Applying the scaling laws α, δ, and ν are also obtained. The critical exponents are in very good agreement with the existing experimental data.

“…Reliable estimates for the experimental β values in other hexagonal manganites are currently not available. A few other experimental results [129][130][131][132], although exist, are claimed to be doubtful [128,132,184]. For instance, β = 0.295 ± 0.008, γ = 0.97 ± 0.05, and ν = 0.45 ± 0.08 were obtained for single-crystal YMnO 3 in reference [132].…”

“…As clearly stated in the same work [132], this β value cannot really be considered as the critical exponent because, the value of T N was refined from the temperaturedependent intensity of magnetic Bragg peak rather than from the divergence of the diffusive intensity at the ordering temperature [185]. In another inelastic neutron scattering experiment on polycrystalline YMnO 3 [131], the estimate β = 0.187 ± 0.002 is also doubtful because, as pointed by Bahoosh et al [184], it was obtained by fitting the intensity data from the noncritical range of temperature. Tachibana et al [130] obtained α = −0.16 whereas Katsufuji et al [129] obtained α ∼ 0.25, both for YMnO 3 .…”

“…[ 4,14,15 ] Considering the fascinating nature of the Y–Ni system, it is essential to investigate the nature of the magnetic phase transition occurring at TnormalC. We have presented an analysis of the critical behaviour near TnormalC [ 16–22 ] for the x=0.5 sample. The scaling hypothesis postulates that a second‐order magnetic phase transition near TnormalC is characterized by a set of critical exponents, namely, β , γ , and δ , which are respectively associated with the spontaneous magnetization (MnormalS), initial susceptibility (χ0=limH0M/H), and magnetization isotherm (MH).…”

“…[23] The magnetic and electric static and dynamic properties of hexagonal multiferroic RMnO 3 were studied based on the transverse Ising and Heisenberg models. [24] In a recent work, [25] Landau's theory for the phase transitions of the second kind was utilized to study the electric orders in a FE-ferromagnetic (FM) system. However, this theory was applicable to the case that the temperature is very close to the transition point.…”
