Abstract:Dedicated to Prof. Antonie Maignan on his 60 th birthday.Type-II multiferroics typically have significantly lower polarization values compared to type-I multiferroics. As a result, pyrocurrent measurements are often employed to estimate their electric polarization. However, when the magnitude of the pyrocurrent is overshadowed by faster dipole relaxation and thermally stimulated free charge carriers, the method becomes inadequate. Here, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the DC bias current technique in overc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
