Coupled multiferroic domain switching in the canted conical spin spiral system Mn2GeO4

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.
