We report the direct measurement of antiferromagnetic spin polarization at the oxygen sites in the multiferroic TbMn2O5, through resonant soft x-ray magnetic scattering. This supports recent theoretical models suggesting that the oxygen spin polarization is key to the magnetoelectric coupling mechanism. The spin polarization is observed through a resonantly enhanced diffraction signal at the oxygen K edge at the commensurate antiferromagnetic wavevector. Using the fdmnes code we have accurately reproduced the experimental data. We have established that the resonance arises through the spin polarization on the oxygen sites hybridized with the square based pyramid Mn3+ ions. Furthermore we have discovered that the position of the Mn3+ ion directly influences the oxygen spin polarization.

We succeed in deriving an exact expression for the magnetic interaction of neutrons and electrons including magneto-electric operators, allowed in the absence of a centre of inversion symmetry. Central characters are a spin anapole and an orbital (toroidal) analogue, in addition to familiar parity-even operators. A simulation of neutron diffraction by antiferromagnetic copper oxide makes full use of information inferred from a thorough investigation with resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction.
We submit that the magnetic space-group Cac (#9.41) is consistent with the established magnetic structure of BaFe2Se3, with magnetic dipole moments in a motif that uses two ladders [Caron J M et al 2011 Phys. Rev. B 84 180409(R)]. The corresponding crystal class m1 allows axial and polar dipoles and forbids bulk ferromagnetism. The compound supports magneto-electric multipoles, including a magnetic charge (monopole) and an anapole (magnetic toroidal dipole) visible in the Bragg diffraction of x-rays and neutrons. Our comprehensive simulation of neutron Bragg diffraction by BaFe2Se3 exploits expressions of a general nature that can be of use with other magnetic materials. Electric toroidal moments are also allowed in BaFe2Se3. A discussion of our findings for resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction illustrates the benefit of a common platform for neutron and x-ray diffraction.
The magneto-electric (ME) coupling on spin-wave resonances in single-crystal Cu2OSeO3 was studied by a novel technique using electron spin resonance combined with electric field modulation. An external electric field E induces a magnetic field component mu_0 H^i = gamma E along the applied magnetic field H with gamma=0.7(1) mu T/(V/mm) at 10 K. We found that ME coupling strength gamma is temperature dependent and highly anisotropic. gamma(T) nearly follows that of spin susceptibility J(T) and rapidly decreases above the Curie temperature Tc. The ratio gamma/J monotonically decreases with increasing temperature without an anomaly at Tc.
We consider phase separated states in magnetic oxides (MO) thin films. We show that these states have a non-zero electric polarization. Moreover, the polarization is intimately related to a spatial distribution of magnetization in the film. Polarized states with opposite polarization and opposite magnetic configuration are degenerate. An external electric field removes the degeneracy and allows to switch between the two states. So, one can control electric polarization and magnetic configuration of the phase separated MO thin film with the external electric field.
We report on magnetisation and magneto-capacitance measurements in the Bi1-xLaxFeO3 series for 0 < x < 0.15. We confirm that doping with La reduces the threshold magnetic field Hc for cancelling the magnetic spiral phase, and we show that Hc decreases as the La content increases up to x=0.15, which is the highest concentration for maintaining the non-centrosymmetric rhombohedral structure of BiFeO3. Measurements of the dielectric constant as a function of magnetic field in the series also show a maximum magneto-capacitance for x=0.15.
