Ferroelectrically induced weak-ferromagnetism in a single-phase multiferroic by design

Abstract

We present a strategy to design structures for which a polar lattice distortion induces weak ferromagnetism. We identify a large class of multiferroic oxides as potential realizations and use density-functional theory to screen several promising candidates. By elucidating the interplay between the polarization and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya vector, we show how the direction of the magnetization can be switched between 180${}^{\circ }$ symmetry equivalent states with an applied electric field.
