Symmetry constraints on the electrical polarization in novel multiferroic materials
- Abstract:
-
The symmetry conditions for the development of a macroscopic electrical polarization as a secondary order parameter to a magnetic ordering transition, and the constraints on the direction of the polarization vector, are determined by a non-conventional application of the theory of irreducible co-representations. In our approach, which is suitable for both magnetic and structural modulations, anti-unitary operators are employed to describe symmetry operations that exchange the propagation vect...
