The magnetoelectric effect in the system $RAl_3(BO_3)_4$ ($R$ = Tb, Ho, Er, Tm) is investigated between 3 K and room temperature and at magnetic fields up to 70 kOe. We show a systematic increase of the magnetoelectric effect with…
Indirect long range interactions between localized magnetic moments are in metals mediated by itinerant electrons. In insulators and semi-conductor, such interactions need to be small, if not negligible, due to the absence of mediating…

We discuss the second-order magnetoelectric effect, in which a quadratic or bilinear electric field induces a linear magnetization, in terms of the ferroic ordering of magnetic octupoles. We present the decomposition of a general rank-3…
Dielectric properties were investigated under various magnitudes and directions of magnetic field (H) for a chiral magnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3. We found that the skyrmion crystal induces electric polarization (P) along either in-plane or…
Magnetoelectric responses are a fundamental characteristic of materials that break time-reversal and inversion symmetries (notably multiferroics) and, remarkably, of "topological insulators" in which those symmetries are unbroken. Previous…
