Induced by magnetic field spin reorientation in YMn2O5

Description

In ferroelectric YMn2O5 weak ferromagnetism was found along a-axis of rhombic crystal. It was shown that the nature of ferromagnetic sublattices cant is determined by magnetoelectric ordering. Reorientation of magnetic moment was observed under strong magnetic field applied along b-axis of crystal, that was accompanied by sharp increase of magnetostriction and jumps of electric polarization. In EuMn2O5, as in YMn2O5, spontaneous and magnetic field induced phase transitions from incommensurate to commensurate phase were observed, accompanied by cardinal changing of magnetoelectrical properties
