Hexagonal perovskite 15R-BaMnO2.99 with a ratio of cubic to hexagonal layers of 1/5 in the unit cell is an antiferromagnetic insulator that orders at a Neel temperature TN = 220 K. Here we report structural, magnetic, dielectric and thermal properties of single crystal BaMnO2.99 and its derivatives BaMn0.97Li0.03O3 and Ba0.97K0.03MnO3. The central findings of this work are: (1) these materials possess a usually large, high-temperature magnetoelectric effect that amplifies the dielectric constant by more than an order of magnitude near their respective Neel temperature; (2) Li and K doping can readily vary the ratio of cubic to hexagonal layers and cause drastic changes in dielectric and magnetic properties; in particular, a mere 3% Li substitution for Mn significantly weakens the magnetic anisotropy and relaxes the lattice; consequently, the dielectric constant for both the a- and c-axis sharply rises to 2500 near the Neel temperature. This lattice softening is also accompanied by weak polarization. These findings provide a new paradigm for developing novel, high-temperature magnetoelectric materials that may eventually contribute to technology.

We report the discovery of linear magnetoelectric effect in the well-known green phase compound, Sm2BaCuO5, which crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic (Pnma) structure. Magnetization and specific heat measurements reveal the long-range an
tiferromagnetic ordering of Cu2+ and Sm3+-ions moments at TN1 = 23 K and TN2 = 5 K, respectively. Applied magnetic field induces dielectric anomaly at TN1 whose magnitude increases with field, which results in significant (1.7%) magnetocapacitance effect. On the other hand, the dielectric anomaly observed in zero-applied magnetic field at TN2 shows a small (0.4%) magnetocapacitance effect. Interestingly, applied magnetic field induces an electric polarization below TN1 and the polarization varies linearly up to the maximum applied field of 9 T with the magnetoelectric coefficient {alpha} ~ 4.4 ps/m, demonstrating high magnetoelectric coupling. Below TN2, the electric polarization decreases from 35 to 29 {mu}C/m2 at 2 K and 9 T due to ordering of Sm-sublattice. The observed linear magnetoelectricity in Sm2BaCuO5 is explained using symmetry analysis.
Strongly correlated materials with multiple order parameters provide unique insights into the fundamental interactions in condensed matter systems and present opportunities for innovative technological applications. A class of antiferromagnetic honey
comb lattices compounds, A4B2O9 (A = Co, Fe, Mn; B = Nb, Ta), have been explored owing to the occurrence of linear magnetoelectricity. We observe a highly nonlinear magnetoelectric effect on single crystals of Co4Ta2O9 (CTO), distinctive from the linear behavior in the isostructural Co4Nb2O9. Ferroelectricity emerges primarily along the [110] direction under magnetic fields, with the onset of antiferromagnetic order at TN = 20.5 K. For in-plane magnetic field, a spin-flop occurs at HC ~ 0.3 T, above which the ferroelectric polarization gradually becomes negative and reaches a broad minimum. Upon increasing magnetic field further, the polarization crosses zero and increases continuously to ~60 uC/m2 at 9 T. In contrast, the polarization for a magnetic field perpendicular to the hexagonal plane increases monotonously and reaches ~80 uC/m2 at 9 T. This observation of a strongly nonlinear magnetoelectricity suggests that two types of inequivalent Co2+ sublattices generate magnetic field-dependent ferroelectric polarization with opposite signs. These results motivate fundamental and applied research on the intriguing magnetoelectric characteristics of these honeycomb lattice materials.
We present a unique example of giant magnetoelectric effect in a conventional multiferroic HoMnO3, where polarization is very large (~56 mC/m2) and the ferroelectric transition temperature is higher than the magnetic ordering temperature by an order.
We attribute the uniqueness of the giant magnetoelectric effect to the ferroelectricity induced entirely by the off-center displacement of rare earth ions with large magnetic moments. This finding suggests a new avenue to design multiferroics with large polarization and higher ferroelectric transition temperature as well as large magnetoelectric effects.
We report the magnetic entropy change (Delta Sm) in magnetoelectric Eu1-xBaxTiO3 for x = 0.1- 0.9. We find - delta Sm = 11 (40) J/kg.K in x = 0.1 for a field change of 1 (5) Tesla respectively, which is the largest value among all Eu-based oxides. De
lta Sm arises from the field-induced suppression of the spin entropy of Eu2+:4f7 localized moments. While -delta Sm decreases with increasing x, -DeltaSm = 6.58 J/kg.K observed in the high spin diluted composition x = 0.9 is larger than that in many manganites. Our results indicate that these magnetoelectrics are potential candidates for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration.
The ground state of the frustrated A-site magnetic spinel CoAl2O4 has been a controversial issue whether it is a collinear antiferromagnetic ordering or a spiral spin - liquid state, as the ratio of the two competing interactions, J2/J1 lies close to
the boundary between these two ground states. Here, we address the magnetic ground state in CoAl2O4 with different amount of Co2+/Al3+ site disorder from the study of magnetoelectric effect and Monte Carlo simulations. CoAl2O4 with low site disorder exhibits linear magnetoelectric effect below the magnetic ordering temperature. With increasing disorder, the magnetoelectric effect is suppressed and the sample with 14% disorder exhibits a spin glass behavior without the magnetoelectric effect. Monte Carlo simulations support the experimental findings and suggest that the site disorder suppresses long - range antiferromagnetic order and induces a spin glass state. Since the linear magnetoelectric effect requires a long - range magnetic ordering, we suggest that the ground state of CoAl2O4 with low site disorder is a collinear antiferromagnet.
