摘要:

用中子衍射球极化分析方法研究了多铁性MnWO_4中磁序中手征组分随温度和外加电场的变化。我们表明,在足够接近铁电转变的情况下,可以通过在恒温下施加适度的电场来切换手性分量。可以观察到完整的磁滞循环,这表明磁序的强钉扎。此外,MnWO4在加热到顺磁和顺电相时表现出磁电记忆效应。

英文摘要:

The chiral components in the magnetic order in multiferroic MnWO4 have been studied by neutron diffraction using spherical polarization analysis as a function of temperature and of external electric field. We show that sufficiently close to the ferroelectric transition it is possible to switch the chiral component by applying moderate electric fields at constant temperature. Full hysteresis cycles can be observed which indicate strong pinning of the magnetic order. MnWO4, furthermore, exhibits a magnetoelectric memory effect across heating into the paramagnetic and paraelectric phase.
