Title: Magnetic monopoles and toroidal moments in LuFeO3 and related compounds

Abstract

Magnetic monopoles and toroidal order are compelling features that have long been theorized but remain elusive in real materials. Multiferroic hexagonal ferrites and manganites are an interesting realization of frustrated triangular lattice of spins, where magnetic order is interacting with ferroelectricity and trimerization. In this paper, we discuss a microscopic mechanism by which trimerization leads to a modulation of magnetic exchanges, and therefore magnetic monopolar and toroidal orders emerge from the combination of 120° antiferromagnetism and trimerization. The experimentally observable signatures of magnetic monopolar and toroidal orders are identified in the inelastic neutron scattering cross section, simulated from a microscopic model of LuFeO3. The nonreciprocal magnon propagation is demonstrated.
