Field-Induced Reentrant Novel Phase and a Ferroelectric-Magnetic Order Coupling inHoMnO3

Abstract: A reentrant novel phase is observed in the hexagonal ferroelectric HoMnO3 in the presence of magnetic fields in the temperature range defined by a plateau of the dielectric constant anomaly. The plateau evolves with fields from a narrow dielectric peak at the Mn-spin rotation transition at 32.8 K in zero field. The anomaly appears both as a function of temperature and as a function of magnetic field without detectable hysteresis. This is attributed to the indirect coupling between the ferroelectric (FE) and an… Show more

“…24 The application of electric or magnetic field will induce movement of domain walls that would cost energy. 31 This is the reason for decrease in magnitude of dielectric constant (ε) and loss (tanδ) after the application of magnetic field. In strained ferromagnetic films, the variation of Curie temperature has been attributed to change in the bond lengths and bond angles of Mn-O octahedral and splitting of e g levels.…”

“…5 Our particular interest in R-IGs follows the mainstream of the modern studies of magnetoelectric and multiferroic materials. 6,7,8,9,10 The microscopic nature of the magnetoelectric effects can be better understood through the studies of the optical excitations such as IR active electromagnons and lattice vibrations that are modified by the spin-lattice interaction. 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 Due to the coincidence of the temperatures for the FM ordering of Dy spins and the AFE lattice ordering in Dy-IG, we expected an interesting behavior for the low-frequency optical phonons, which are related to the displacements of the heaviest ions (Dy) and spin-related ligand field (LF) transitions and Kaplan-Kittel (KK) 20 magnetic exchange resonance modes in Dy-IG.…”

“…16 In rare cases the f-d exchange can result in an in-plane rotation of the d spins as observed in hexagonal HoMnO 3 . 19 Dielectric anomalies associated with spin reorientation transitions have been observed in several manganites, 7,20 and the significance of the spin-lattice coupling and magnetoelastic effects has been shown. 11 The coupling between the f and d spins forming a 90°angle can be mediated by the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction ͑which is proportional to the vector product of f and d moments and gives rise to weak ferromagnetism͒, or by a pseudodipolar interaction arising from the anisotropy of the f-d exchange.…”
