Magnetically induced electric polarization in Ba$$_{3}$$Fe$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$Cl$$_{2}$$ with tunable direction in three dimensions

The correlation between magnetism and electric polarization in a chiral insulating magnet Ba$$_{3}$$Fe$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$Cl$$_{2}$$ has been investigated. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility shows an anomaly at 564 K, suggesting the onset of antiferromagnetic order of Fe$$^{3+}$$ moments. Electric polarization appears in a magnetic field below TN due to the spin-direction-dependent metal-ligand hybridization. The direction of the electric polarization can be controlled in three-dimensional space by changing the direction of an external magnetic field. This compound also shows an antiferromagnetic-to-weak-ferromagnetic transition accompanied by a structural phase transition at 140 K.
