Magnetic Field Control of Cycloidal Domains and Electric Polarization in Multiferroic
Abstract
The magnetic field induced rearrangement of the cycloidal spin structure in the room-temperaturemultiferroic BiFeO3 is studied using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The cycloid propagationvectors are observed to rotate when magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the polar axisexceed a pinning threshold value of ~5T in the studied crystals. In light of these experimentalresults, a phenomenological model is proposed that describes our observations, and we revisit themicroscopic origin of the magnetoelectric effect. A new term describing a coupling between themagnetic anisotropy and the polarization is proposed to explain the recently discovered magneticfield induced in-plane electric polarization.
