We discuss DC electric-field controls of superexchange interactions. We first present generic results about antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic superexchange interactions valid in a broad class of Mott insulators, where we also estimate typical field strength to observe DC electric-field effects: $\sim 1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$ for inorganic Mott insulators such as transition-metal oxides and $\sim 0.1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$ for organic ones. Next, we apply these results to geometrically frustrated quantum spin systems. Our theory widely applies to (quasi-)two-dimensional and thin-film systems and one-dimensional quantum spin systems on various lattices such as square, honeycomb, triangular, and kagome ones. In this paper, we give our attention to those on the square lattice and on the chain. For the square lattice, we show that DC electric fields can control a ratio of the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions. In some realistic cases, DC electric fields make the two next-nearest-neighbor interactions nonequivalent and eventually turns the square-lattice quantum spin system into a deformed triangular-lattice one. For the chain, DC electric fields can induce singlet-dimer and Haldane-dimer orders. We show that the DC electric-field-induced spin gap $\propto |\boldsymbol E|^{2/3}$ in the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain will reach $\sim 10~\%$ of the dominant superexchange interaction in the case of a spin-chain compound $\mathrm{KCuMoO_4(OH)}$ when the DC electric field of $\sim 1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$ is applied.

空隙尖晶石GaV $_{4}$ S $_{8}$最近被认为是具有与磁序耦合的相当大的极化$\boldsymbol{P}$的Skyrmion晶格态的原型多铁性材料。我们在微观层面上解释了这一现象。在密度泛函理论的基础上,我们构造了一个描述(V $_{4}$ S $_{4}$)$^{5+}$团簇分子轨道形成的弱耦合晶格中磁活性电子行为的有效模型.应用超交换理论和Berry相理论,导出了磁键中能量和极化变化与自旋方向的关系模型.我们认为,虽然每个skyrmion层主要是由超交换相互作用在同一平面上形成的,自旋依赖的$\boldsymbol{P}$产生的堆叠错位,这些平面在垂直方向上,这是固有的空隙尖晶石结构。我们预测各向同性,PDMATHAMR,反对称,$\sim \boldsymbol{e}_{i} \times \boldsymbol{e}_{j}$,贡献$\boldsymbol{P}$,解释实验观察到的效果的强烈竞争。
