Due to the strong coupling between magnetism and ferroelectricity, $(mathrm{ND}_4)_2mathrm{FeCl}_5cdotmathrm{D}_2mathrm{O}$ exhibits several intriguing magnetic and electric phases. In this letter, we include high-order onsite spin anisotropic interactions in a spin model that successfully captures the ferroelectric phase transitions of $(mathrm{ND}_4)_2mathrm{FeCl}_5cdotmathrm{D}_2mathrm{O}$ under a magnetic field and produces the large weights of high-order harmonic components in the cycloid structure that are observed from neutron diffraction experiments. Moreover, we predict a new ferroelectric phase sandwiched between the FE II and FE III phases in a magnetic field. Our results emphasize the importance of the high-order spin anisotropic interactions and provide a guideline to understand multiferroic materials with rich phase diagrams.

We report on NMR studies of the quasi--1D antiferromagnetic $S=1/2$ chain cuprate LiCuVO$_4$, focusing on the high--field spin--modulated phase observed recently in applied magnetic fields $H > H_{rm c2}$ ($mu_0H_{rm c2} approx 7.5$ T). The NMR spect ra of $^7$Li and $^{51}$V around the transition from the ordered to the paramagnetic state were measured. It is shown that the spin--modulated magnetic structure forms with ferromagnetic interactions between spins of neighboring chains within the {bf ab}--plane at low temperatures 0.6 K $ < T < T_{rm N}$. The best fit provides evidence that the mutual orientation between spins of neighboring {bf ab}--planes is random. For elevated temperatures $T_{rm N} < T lesssim 15$ K, short--range magnetic order occurs at least on the characteristic time scale of the NMR experiment.
We report on the electric field control of magnetic phase transition temperatures in multiferroic Ni3V2O8 thin films. Using magnetization measurements, we find that the phase transition temperature to the canted antiferromagnetic state is suppressed by 0.2 K in an electric field of 30 MV/m, as compared to the unbiased sample. Dielectric measurements show that the transition temperature into the magnetic state associated with ferroelectric order increases by 0.2 K when the sample is biased at 25 MV/m. This electric field control of the magnetic transitions can be qualitatively understood using a mean field model incorporating a tri-linear coupling between the magnetic order parameters and spontaneous polarization.
Polar lacunar spinels, such as GaV$_4$S$_8$ and GaV$_4$Se$_8$, were proposed to host skyrmion phases under magnetic field. In this work, we put forward, as a candidate for Neel-type skyrmion lattice, the isostructural GaMo$_4$S$_8$, here systematical ly studied via both first-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations of model Hamiltonian. Electric polarization, driven by Jahn-Teller distortion, is predicted to arise in GaMo$_4$S$_8$, showing a comparable size but an opposite sign with respect to that evaluated in V-based counterparts and explained in terms of different electron counting arguments and resulting distortions. Interestingly, a larger spin-orbit coupling of 4d orbitals with respect to 3d orbitals in vanadium-spinels leads to stronger Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, which are beneficial to stabilize a cycloidal spin texture, as well as smaller-sized skyrmions (radius<10 nm). Furthermore, the possibly large exchange anisotropy of GaMo4S8 may lead to a ferroelectric-ferromagnetic ground state, as an alternative to the ferroelectric-skyrmionic one, calling for further experimental verification.

We present thermodynamic and neutron scattering measurements on the quantum spin ice candidate Nd$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$. The parameterization of the anisotropic exchange Hamiltonian is refined based on high-energy-resolution inelastic neutron scattering dat a together with thermodynamic data using linear spin wave theory and numerical linked cluster expansion. Magnetic phase diagrams are calculated using classical Monte Carlo simulations with fields along mbox{[100]}, mbox{[110]} and mbox{[111]} crystallographic directions which agree qualitatively with the experiment. Large hysteresis and irreversibility for mbox{[111]} is reproduced and the microscopic mechanism is revealed by mean field calculations to be the existence of metastable states and domain inversion. Our results shed light on the explanations of the recently observed dynamical kagome ice in Nd$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ in mbox{[111]} fields.
Pb$_2$CoOsO$_6$ is a newly synthesized polar metal in which inversion symmetry is broken by the magnetic frustration in an antiferromagnetic ordering of Co and Os sublattices. The coupled magnetic and structural transition occurs at 45 K at ambient p ressure. Here we perform transport measurements and first-principles calculations to study the pressure effects on the magnetic/structural coupled transition of Pb$_2$CoOsO$_6$. Experimentally we monitor the resistivity anomaly at $T_N$ under various pressures up to 11 GPa in a cubic anvil cell apparatus. We find that $T_N$ determined from the resistivity anomaly first increases quickly with pressure in a large slope of $dT_N/dP$ = +6.8(8) K/GPa for $P < 4$ GPa, and then increases with a much reduced slope of 1.8(4) K/GPa above 4 GPa. Our first-principles calculations suggest that the observed discontinuity of $dT_N/dP$ around 4 GPa may be attributed to the vanishing of Os magnetic moment under pressure. Pressure substantially reduces the Os moment and completely suppresses it above a critical value, which relieves the magnetic frustration in the antiferromagnetic ordering of Pb$_2$CoOsO$_6$. The Co and Os polar distortions decrease with the increasing pressure and simultaneously vanish at the critical pressure. Therefore above the critical pressure a new centrosymmetric antiferromagnetic state emerges in Pb$_2$CoOsO$_6$, distinct from the one under ambient pressure, thus showing a discontinuity in $dT_N/dP$.
