We report the low-temperature coexistence in NdFe3(BO3)4 of an incommensurate magnetic phase with a strained commensurate magnetic phase that is primarily at the surface of the crystal. Increasing the temperature or magnetic field decreases…
The specific properties of incommensurate multiferroic phases resulting from the coupling of order-parameter replicates are worked out using the illustrative example of iron vanadate. The dephasing between the order-parameter copies induces…
Cupric oxide is multiferroic at unusual high temperatures. From density functional calculations we find that the low-T magnetic phase is paraelectric and the higher-T one ferroelectric, with a size and direction of polarization in good…
Temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction of the low-dimensional spin 1/2 quantum magnet TiOBr shows that the phase transition at T_{c2} = 47.1 (4) K corresponds to the development of an incommensurate superstructure. Below T_{c1} = 26.8 \pm…
High resolution ultrasonic velocity measurements have been used to determine the temperature -- magnetic-field phase diagram of the monoclinic multiferroic CuO. A new transition at TN3 = 230 K, corresponding to an intermediate state between…
Composite multiferroics are materials exhibiting the interplay of ferroelectricity, magnetism, and strong electron correlations. Typical example --- magnetic nano grains embedded in a ferroelectric matrix. Coupling of ferroelectric and…
The pressure ($p$) -- temperature ($T$) phase diagram for microscopic magnetism in the multiferroic compound HoMn$_{2}$O$_{5}$ was established using neutron diffraction measurements under a hydrostatic pressure up to 1.25 GPa. At ambient…
Neutron scattering studies of single-crystal LiNiPO$_4$ reveal a spontaneous first-order commensurate-incommensurate magnetic phase transition. Short- and long-range incommensurate phases are intermediate between the high temperature…
The magnetic structure for the newly discovered iron-arsenide compound \CaFeAs has been studied by neutron powder diffraction. Long-range magnetic order is detected below 85K, with an incommensurate modulation described by the propagation…
We have determined the magnetic structure of the low-temperature incommensurate phase of multiferroic YMn2O5 using single-crystal neutron diffraction. By employing corepresentation analysis, we have ensured full compliance with both…
We have carried out $^{63,65}$Cu NMR spectra measurements in magnetic field up to about 45~T on single crystal of a multiferroic triangular antiferromagnet CuCrO$_2$. The measurements were performed for magnetic fields aligned along the…
Detailed spin-wave spectra of magneto-electric LiNiPO4 have been measured by neutron scattering at low temperatures in the commensurate (C) antiferromagnetic (AF) phase with ordering temperature 20.8 K. An anomalous low-energy mode is…
By combining neutron four-circle diffraction and polarized neutron diffraction techniques we have determined the complex spin structures of a multiferroic, YMn2O5, that exhibits two ferroelectric phases at low temperatures. The obtained…
The low-temperature ferroelectric polarization of multiferroic $YMn_2O_5$ is completely reversed at a critical pressure of 10 kbar and the phase transition from the incommensurate to the commensurate magnetic phase is induced by pressures…
The interest in the study of spin-Peierls phenomenon has increased with the discovery of copper germanium oxide (CuGeO_3) as an example of spin-Peierls systems. The availability of this inorganic compound as large, high quality single…
Neutron diffraction measurements under high magnetic fields have been performed for the multiferroic compound HoMn$_{2}$O$_{5}$. At zero field, high-temperature incommensurate magnetic (HT-ICM) -- commensurate magnetic (CM) --…
Apart from being so far the only known binary multiferroic compound, CuO has a much higher transition temperature into the multiferroic state, 230 K, than any other known material in which the electric polarization is induced by spontaneous…
The magnetostructural transitions and magnetoelectric effects reported in TbMn2O5 are described theoretically and shown to correspond to two essentially different mechanisms for the induced ferroelectricity. The incommensurate and…
Magnetic ordering phenomena in CexPr1-xB6 solid solutions have been studied using both powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction. A variety of magnetic structures are observed depending on temperature and Ce concentration. Over a broad…
We have studied the high temperature multiferroic cupric oxide using polarized neutron diffraction as a function of temperature and applied electric field. We find that the chiral domain population can be varied using an external electric…
