A magnetic toroidal moment is a fundamental electronic degree of freedom in the absence of both spatial inversion and time-reversal symmetries and gives rise to novel multiferroic and transport properties. We elucidate essential model…
First-principles density functional calculations show that the $\textrm{SrRuO}_{3}/\textrm{PbTiO}_{3}/\textrm{SrRuO}_{3}$ multiferroic junction with asymmetric (RuO$_{2}$/PbO and TiO$_{2}$/SrO) interfaces has a large ferroelectric…
Metal-organic frameworks comprehend a wide class of hybrid organic-inorganic materials with general structure A$_m$BX$_n$, with $A$ and $X$ being organic molecules and B a metal cation. This often results in enhanced structural flexibility…
We theoretically investigate the interplay between charge ordering and magnetic states in quasi-one-dimensional molecular conductors TMTTF$_2X$, motivated by the observation of a complex variation of competing and/or coexisting phases. We…
The magnetoelastic coupling in multiferroic $DyMn_2O_5$ is investigated by magnetostriction measurements along the three crystallographic orientations. Strong lattice anomalies as a function of the magnetic field are detected at the low…
The coupling between magnetic order and ferroelectricity has been under intense investigation in a wide range of transition-metal oxides. The strongest coupling is obtained in so-called magnetically-induced multiferroics where…
Ferroic multipole orders break some symmetry and often activate unique physical properties, such as nonreciprocal directional dichroism and linear magnetoelectric effects. Here, we demonstrate the control of magnetic toroidal orientation in…
Iron telluride doped lightly with selenium is known to undergo a first order magneto-structural transition before turning superconducting at higher doping. We study the effects of magneto-elastic couplings on this transition using symmetry…
Magnetic order of the manganese and rare-earth lattices according to different symmetry representations is observed in multiferroic hexagonal (h-) DyMnO$_3$ by optical second harmonic generation and neutron diffraction. The incompatibility…
Magnetoelectric phenomena are intimately linked to relativistic effects and also require the material to break spatial inversion symmetry and time reversal invariance. Magnetoelectric coupling can substantially affect light-matter…
In this contribution to the special issue on multiferroics we focus on multiferroicity driven by different forms of charge ordering. We will present the generic mechanisms by which charge ordering can induce ferroelectricity in magnetic…
Multiferroics are materials where two or more ferroic orders coexist owing to the interplay between spin, charge, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom. The explosive expansion of multiferroics literature in recent years demon-strates the…
The study of improper phases in the context of multiferroic materials has a long history, but superconductivity has yet to be connected to the network of ferroic orders. In this work, we highlight an overlooked mechanism that couples…
Magnetic toroidal order features a loop-like arrangement of magnetic dipole moments, thus breaking both spatial inversion (P) and time-reversal (T) symmetries while preserving their combined PT sym-metry. This PT symmetry enables a linear…
Using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory we show that electric polarization and magnetism are strongly intertwined in (TMTTF)$_2$-$X$ (X$=$PF$_6$, As$F_6$, and SbF$_6$) organic crystals and they…
The multiferroicity in a triangular spin lattice with proper-screw-spin chain order was explored by performing density functional calculations for AgCrO2 and analyzing the symmetry of the magnetic structure of the triangular spin lattice.…
We investigate the role of the electron correlation effects in the calculations of the electric dipole polarizabilities (\alpha) of elements belonging to three different groups of periodic table. To understand the propagation of the…
Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials possess spontaneous electric and magnetic order, respectively, which can be switched by the corresponding applied electric and magnetic fields. Multiferroics combine these properties in a single…
Autferroics, recently proposed as a sister branch of multiferroics, exhibit strong intrinsic magnetoelectricity, but ferroelectricity and magnetism are mutually exclusive rather than coexisting. Here, a general model is considered based on…
Multiferroic materials, characterized by the coexisting of ferroelectric polarization (breaking spatial inversion symmetry) and magnetism (breaking time-reversal symmetry), with strong magnetoelectric coupling, are highly sought after for…
