We investigate the effects of slight Dy/Mn off-stoichiometry on the multiferroic behaviors of DyMnO{sub 3} (Dy{sub 1−x}Mn{sub 1+x}O{sub 3}). It is revealed that the distorted lattice structure and ferroelectric property exhibit higher stability against the Mn deficiency than the Dy deficiency. Since the electric polarization includes the contributions from the Mn-Mn and Dy-Mn interactions, the measured polarization exhibits different dependence on the Mn deficiency from that on the Dy deficiency. The present work suggests that the Dy/Mn off-stoichiometry is detrimental to the ferroelectricity, owing to the modulated spin interactions and reshuffled spin frustration.
