报告介绍
报告摘要:
In recent years, we have theoretically studied the microscopic origin of ferroelectricity in different multiferroic systems. We proposed a unified model [1,2] which includes purely electronic and ion-displacement contributionsimultaneously to describe spin-order induced ferroelectricity. An efficient method [3] was developed to compute the model parameters from first-principles. On the basis of the unified model and density functional calculations, we explained the ferroelectricity induced by the proper-screw spin spiral [2], discovered a novel magnetoelectric coupling mechanism in which the magnitude of the polarization is governed by the exchange striction with the direction by the spin chirality [4], proposed that the ferroelectricity in the chiral-lattice magnet Cu2OSeO3 is due to the unusual single-spin site term [5], unraveled that the magnetoelectric effect observed in BiFeO3 originates from the exchange striction [2].
