Co4Nb2O9 (CNO) having {alpha}-Al2O3 crystal structure with Co chains along c-direction shows gigantic magnetoelelctric coupling below antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 27 K but above a spin flop field of 1.6 T. We have investigated structural, magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of Fe substituted (10% and 20%) samples and compared with the parent one. In fact magnetic and specific heat measurements have revealed an additional magnetic transition below 10 K and presence of short range magnetic ordering above ~ 50 K in parent as well as in Fe substituted samples. Linear magnetoelelctric and ferroelectric behaviours are evidenced in the Fe substituted samples where an electric field of 5 kV/m is sufficient to align the dipoles and the magnetoelelctric coupling is ensured for magnetic fields as low as 0.25 T, far below the spin flop field.

Neutron powder diffraction experiments reveal that Co4Nb2O9 forms a noncollinear in-plane magnetic structure with Co2+ moments lying in the ab plane. The spin-wave excitations of this magnet were measured by using inelastic neutron scattering and sou ndly simulated by a dynamic model involving nearest and next-nearest neighbour exchange interactions, in-plane anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The in-plane magnetic structure of Co4Nb2O9 is attributed to the large in-plane anisotropy while the noncollinearity of the spin configuration is attributed to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The high magnetoelectric coupling effect of Co4Nb2O9 in fields can be explained by its special in-plane magnetic structure.
Magnetoelectric effects in honeycomb antiferromagnet Co4Nb2O9 are investigated on the basis of symmetry analyses of Co ions in trigonal P-3c1 space group. For each Co ion, the possible spin dependence is classified by C3 point-group symmetry. This ac counts for the observed main effect that an electric polarization rotates in the opposite direction at the twice speed relative to the rotation of the external magnetic field applied in the ab-plane. Inversion centers and twofold axes in the unit cell restrict the active spin-dependence of the electric polarization, which well explains the observed experimental results. Expected optical properties of quadrupolar excitation and various types of dichroism are also discussed.
The honeycomb antiferromagnet Co4Nb2O9 is known to exhibit an interesting magnetoelectric effect that the electric polarization rotates at the twice speed in the opposite direction relative to the rotation of the external magnetic field applied in th e basal ab-plane. The spin-dependent electric dipole can be an origin of the magnetoelectric effect. It is described by the product of spin operators at different sites (type-I theory) or at the same site (type-II theory). We examine the electric polarization for the two cases on the basis of the symmetry analysis of the crystal structure of Co4Nb2O9, and conclude that the latter is the origin of the observed result. This paper also gives a general description of the field-induced electric polarization on honeycomb lattices with the C3 point group symmetry on the basis of the type-I theory.

We theoretically study magnetoelectric effects in a heterostructure of a generic band insulator and a ferromagnet. In contrast to the kinetic magnetoelectric effect in metals, referred to as the Edelstein effect or the inverse spin galvanic effect, o ur mechanism relies on virtual interband transitions between the valence and conduction bands and therefore immune to disorder or impurity scattering. By calculating electric field-induced magnetization by the linear response theory, we reveal that the magnetoelectric effect shows up without specific parameter choices. The magnetoelectric effect qualitatively varies by changing the direction of the magnetic moment in the ferromagnet: the response is diagonal for the out-of-plane moment, whereas it is off-diagonal for the inplane moment. We also find out that in optical frequencies, the magnetoelectric signal can be drastically enhanced via interband resonant excitations. Finally, we estimate the magnitude of the magnetoelectric effect for a hybrid halide perovskite semiconductor as an example of the band insulator and compare it with other magnetoelectric materials. We underscore that our mechanism is quite general and widely expectable, only requiring the Rashba spin-orbit coupling and exchange coupling. Our result could potentially offer a promising method of Joule heating-free electric manipulation of magnetic moments in spintronic devices.
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.
