多铁性中锥形旋轮线态的Ginzburg-Landau理论:对CoCr $_2$ O $_4$的应用

Ginzburg-Landau theory for the conical cycloid state in multiferroics: applications to CoCr$_2$O$_4$

Chuanwei Zhang, Sumanta Tewari, John Toner, S. Das Sarma

摘要:

我们证明了在没有自旋和晶格各向异性的情况下,多铁性的摆线磁序可以出现,例如,在立方材料中,这解释了CoCr $_2$ O $_4$中这种状态的出现。我们讨论的情况下,当这个顺序共存的铁磁性在一个所谓的“圆锥摆线”的状态,并表明,直接过渡到这种状态的铁磁体必然是第一顺序。在相当一般的基础上,在这种状态下均匀磁化方向的反转也能导致电极化的强度的反转,而不需要调用“环向矩”作为序参量。

英文摘要:

We show that the cycloidal magnetic order of a multiferroic can arise in the absence of spin and lattice anisotropies, for e.g., in a cubic material, and this explains the occurrence of such a state in CoCr$_2$O$_4$. We discuss the case when this order coexists with ferromagnetism in a so called `conical cycloid' state, and show that a direct transition to this state from the ferromagnet is necessarily first order. On quite general grounds, the reversal of the direction of the uniform magnetization in this state can lead to the reversal of the electric polarization as well, without the need to invoke `toroidal moment' as the order parameter.
