Evidence for a New Magnetoelectric Effect of Current-Induced Magnetization in a Toroidal Magnetic Ordered State of UNiB

arXiv:1801.04660 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.87.033702

Abstract

Magnetization measurements under direct electric currents were performed for toroidal magnetic ordered state of UNiB to test a recent theoretical prediction of current-induced magnetization in a metallic system lacking local inversion symmetry.We found that each of the electric currents parallel to [] and [] in the hexagonal 4-index notation induces uniform magnetization in the direction of [].The observed behavior of the induced magnetization is essentially consistent with the theoretical prediction; however it also shows an inconsistency suggesting that the antiferromagnetic state of UNiB could not simply be regarded as a uniform toroidal order in the ideal honeycomb layered structure.
