Coupled multiferroic domain switching in the canted conical spin spiral system Mn2GeO4
The coexistence of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity in a multiferroic material often arises from complex magnetoelectric couplings. Here, the authors observe switching of domains in Mn2GeO4using neutron diffraction and develop a phenomenological theory to explain their results.
