Abstract
  • The recent research on multiferroics has provided solid evidence that the breaking of inversion symmetry by spin order can induce ferroelectric polarization P. This type of multiferroics, called spin-driven ferroelectrics, often show a gigantic change in P on application of a magnetic field B. However, their polarization (< similar to 0.1 mu C cm(-2)) is much smaller than that in conventional ferroelectrics (typically several to several tens of mCcm(-2)). Here we show that the application of external pressure to a representative spin-driven ferroelectric, TbMnO3, causes a flop of P and leads to the highest P (approximate to 1.0 mu C cm(-2)) among spin-driven ferroelectrics ever reported. We explain this behaviour in terms of a pressureinduced magnetoelectric phase transition, based on the results of density functional simulations. In the high-pressure phase, the application of B further enhances P over 1.8 mu C cm(-2). This value is nearly an order of magnitude larger than those ever reported in spin-driven ferroelectrics.
