First-principles modeling of multferroic RMnO

arXiv:0907.4400 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.257201

Abstract

We investigate the phase diagrams of RMnO via a first-principles effective-Hamiltonian method. We are able to reproduce the most important features of the complicated magnetic and ferroelectric phase transitions. The calculated polarization as a function of temperature agrees very well with experiments. The dielectric-constant step at the commensurate-to -incommensurate magnetic phase transition is well reproduced. The microscopic mechanisms for the phase transitions are discussed.
