Occurrence of magnetoelectric effect correlated to the Dy order in Dy{sub 2}NiMnO{sub 6} double perovskite
Magnetic, dielectric, and ac conductivity as well as room temperature structural and Raman studies are performed on double perovskite Dy{sub 2}NiMnO{sub 6}. The crystal structure of the compound adopts monoclinic P2{sub 1}/n space group, where alternate Mn and Ni distorted octahedral are arranged in anti-phase a{sup −} a{sup −} b{sup +} order in Glazer notation. Magnetization studies show two magnetic transitions around 100 K and 20 K which are related to the ordering of transition and rare earth cations moment, respectively. Temperature dependent dielectric permittivity shows Havriliak-Negami type thermally activated dielectric relaxation. The ac conductivity at different temperature is found to follow Jonscher power law behavior. Time-temperature scaling of the conductivity spectra reveals that the charge transport dynamics is independent of temperature. Intriguingly, an anomaly in the dielectric constant is observed close to the order of Dy moment which indicates intrinsic magnetoelectric coupling. The hybridization between Dy and Ni/Mn is suggested to be correlated with the magnetoelectric coupling.
