Manipulating the magnetic structure by electric fields in multiferroic ErMn2O5

Abstract

Based on measurements of soft x-ray magnetic diffraction under in-situ applied electric field, wereport on significantly manipulation and exciting of commensurate magnetic order in multiferroic ErMn2O5. The induced magnetic scattering intensity arises at the commensurate magnetic Bragg position whereas the initial magnetic signal almost persists. We demonstrate the possibility to imprint a magnetic response function in ErMn2O5 by applying electric field.
