Studies on multiferroic materials in high magnetic fields

Abstract

In this article, studies on the magnetoelectric effects of multiferroic materials in high magnetic fields, particularly pulsed magnetic fields, are discussed and results for some representative materials are presented. In the discussions on representative materials, the relationship between the crystallographic symmetry and the linear magnetoelectric effect in Cr₂O₃ is introduced. Then drastic changes in polarization caused by magnetic transitions are discussed through a case study of manganites with a perovskite-type structure. In addition, high field studies on the magnetoelectric effects in BiFeO₃, which is an exceptional multiferroic material, are presented and discussed in the framework of the Landau–Ginzburg theory.

Keywords
