Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:96.93(Chemistry, Applied)We have investigated a single crystal of multiferroic YbFeO. Its magnetic transition temperature was 250 K. The magnetization along the c-axis was much larger than that within the ab plane, indicating the Ising character of this system. The field-cooled magnetization became negative below 10 K. This was explained in terms of an antiparallel coupling between Yb and Fe moments. Magnetocaloric effects were also observed. The change of entropy was found to show a broad peak with a width of 100 K, which is favorable to application.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.03(Physics, Condensed Matter)In order to clarify the stability of charge ordered structure (CO) in charge- and spinfrustrated ferrite YbFeO, we have investigated changes of the CO structure by partial substitution of Mn for Fe in YbFeO by a transmission electron microscope (TEM), incombination with conventional dielectric measurement. It is revealed that subtle substitution of Mn for Fe in YbFeO destroyed drastically the CO structure with the wave vector of q=1/3 1/3 1/2 and, instead, induced polar clustering structure characterized by honeycomb shaped diffuse scatterings in the reciprocal space. The formation of polar clustering structure should be responsible for the characteristic dielectric dispersion.
