Abstract
In the present work, magnetic properties of single crystal (FeMn)MoO () have been studied by performing extensive measurements. A detailed magnetic phase diagram is built up, in which antiferromagnetic state dominates for and ferrimagnetic phase arises for . Meanwhile, sizeable electric polarization of spin origin is commonly observed in all samples, no matter what the magnetic state is. For the samples hosting a ferrimagnetic state, square-like magnetic hysteresis loops are revealed, while the remnant magnetization and coercive field can be tuned drastically by simply varying the Mn-content or temperature. Possible coexistence of the antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic phases is proposed to be responsible for the remarkable modulation of magnetic properties in the samples.
