被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We investigate the magnetic structure and magnetoelectric (ME) effect in the high-field phase of the antiferromagnet LiFePO above the critical field of 31 T. A neutron diffraction study in pulsed magnetic fields reveals the propagation vector to be q = 0 for the high-field magnetic structure. In addition, neutron diffraction measurements in low magnetic fields show no observable field-induced spin canting, which indicates negligible Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The observed spin-flop field supports the Hamiltonian recently deduced from inelastic neutron studies and indicates that the system is less frustrated and with a larger single-ion anisotropy than originally thought. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining pulsed-field neutron diffraction and electric polarization measurements to elucidate the magnetic structures and symmetries at the highest attainable field strengths.

被引用回数:20 パーセンタイル:69.84(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Neutron diffraction with static and pulsed magnetic fields is used to directly probe the magnetic structures in LiNiPO up to 25 T and 42 T, respectively. By combining these results with magnetometry and electric polarization measurements under pulsed fields, the magnetic and magnetoelectric phases are investigated up to 56 T applied along the easy
axis. In addition to the already known transitions at lower fields, three new ones are reported at 37.6, 39.4, and 54 T. Ordering vectors are identified with Q
= (0,
, 0) in the interval 37.6 - 39.4 T and Q
= (0, 0, 0) in the interval 39.4 - 54 T. A quadratic magnetoelectric effect is discovered in the Q
= (0, 0, 0) phase and the field dependence of the induced electric polarization is described using a simple mean-field model. The observed magnetic structure and magnetoelectric tensor elements point to a change in the lattice symmetry in this phase. We speculate on the possible physical mechanism responsible for the magnetoelectric effect in LiNiPO
