Magnetic field-induced dielectric phase transition and incommensurate-commensurate magnetic phase transition in multiferroic compounds of $$R$$Mn$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$

$$R$$Mn$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$($$R=$$ rare earth, Bi, Y) systen achieves a multi-ferroic state where magnetic and ferroelectric orders coexist. We have performed neutron diffraction under magnetic field to study the correlation between field-induced magnetism and ferroelectricity. T-H phase diagram of the magnetic and electric states for two samples, HoMn$$_2$$O$$_5$$ and ErMn$$_2$$O$$_5$$, shows perfect agreement between the commensurate-incommensurate magnetic phase boundary and the ferroelectric transition, evincing that the commensurate magnetic state is essential for the ferroelectric state in this system.
