Rotational Response Induced by Electric Toroidal Dipole

Abstract

A ferroaxial ordering, which appears without mirror symmetry parallel to an electric axial moment, is described by a ferroic alignment of the electric toroidal (ET) dipole rather than the conventional electric and magnetic dipoles. Although its emergence requires neither spatial inversion nor time-reversal symmetry breakings, unconventional transverse responses between the conjugate physical quantities have been proposed, which are qualitatively different from those in multiferroic systems without both spatial inversion and time-reversal symmetries. We theoretically investigate a general relationship between ferroaxial ordering and its characteristic response tensor. We show that various rotational responses corresponding to an antisymmetric tensor component are related to the ferroaxial ordering based on symmetry analysis. Among them, we propose that second-order nonlinear magnetostriction, where the strain is induced by a second-order magnetic field, is one of the experimental setups to identify the ferroaxial ordering. We show its temperature and magnetic-field-angle dependence by analyzing a fundamental $d$-orbital model under the tetragonal symmetry.
