Abstract

Description

To clarify the controversy concerning the ferroelectricity of the lower temperature magnetic phases of Eu0.8Y0.2MnO3, hence its multiferroic character, we have studied in detail the temperature dependence of the electric polarization. The existence of a spontaneous polarization in 30K < T < 22K, provides clear evidence for the ferroelectric character of the re-entrant magnetic phase, stable in that temperature range. Both lower temperature magnetic phases allow easily-induced electric polarization, which actually mask any spontaneous polarization.
