Abstract
Ferro-rotational magnet RbFe(SO4)2has attracted attention for its stable ferro-rotational phase and electric-field-controlled magnetic chirality. This work presents the multiferroic properties andH-Tphase diagram of RbFe(SO4)2, which have been underexplored. Our measurements of magnetic susceptibility, ferroelectric polarization, and dielectric constant under various magnetic fields reveal four distinct phases: (I) a ferroelectric and helical magnetic phase below 4 K and 6 T, (II) a paraelectric and collinear magnetic phase below 4 K and above 6 T, (III) a paraelectric and non-collinear magnetic phase below 4 K and above 9 T, and (IV) a paraelectric and paramagnetic above 4 K. This study clarifies the multiferroic behavior andH-Tphase diagram of RbFe(SO4)2, providing valuable insights into ferro-rotational magnets.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter covers the whole of condensed matter physics including soft condensed matter and nanostructures. Papers may report experimental, theoretical and simulation studies. Note that papers must contain fundamental condensed matter science: papers reporting methods of materials preparation or properties of materials without novel condensed matter content will not be accepted.
