Unusual tunability of multiferroicity in GdMn2O5 by electric field poling far above multiferroic ordering point

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/28/2/027502

Abstract

The multiferroicity in the RMn₂O₅ family remains unclear, and less attention has been paid to its dependence on high-temperature (high-T) polarized configuration. Moreover, no consensus on the high-T space group symmetry has been reached so far. In view of this consideration, one may argue that the multiferroicity of RMn₂O₅ in the low-T range depends on the poling sequence starting far above the multiferroic ordering temperature. In this work, we investigate in detail the variation of magnetically induced electric polarization in GdMn₂O₅ and its dependence on electric field poling routine in the high-T range. It is revealed that the multiferroicity does exhibit qualitatively different behaviors if the high-T poling routine changes, indicating the close correlation with the possible high-T polarized state. These emergent phenomena may be qualitatively explained by the co-existence of two low-T polarization components, a scenario that was proposed earlier. One is the component associated with the Mn³⁺-Mn⁴⁺-Mn³⁺ exchange striction that seems to be tightly clamped by the high-T polarized state, and the other is the component associated with the Gd³⁺-Mn⁴⁺-Gd³⁺ exchange striction that is free of the clamping. The present findings may offer a different scheme for the electric control of the multiferroicity in RMn₂O₅.

Keywords: multiferroicity GdMn₂O₅ high-T polarized state exchange striction
