Magnetism-driven ferroelectricity in spin-12 XYchains

Abstract: We illustrate the magnetoelectric effect conditioned by the Katsura-Nagaosa-Balatsky (KNB) mechanism within the frames of exactly solvable spin-1/2 XY chains. Due to three-spin interactions which are present in our consideration, the magnetization (polarization) is influenced by the electric (magnetic) field even in the absence of the magnetic (electric) field. We also discuss a magnetoelectrocaloric effect examining the entropy changes under the isothermal varying of the magnetic or/and electric field.

“…One is the (XZX+YZY)-type of three-site interactions [11][12][13][14][15][16], where the exchange interaction for next nearest neighbor sites takes on XX form. The other form of three-site interactions is the (XZY−YZX) type [14][15][16][17]. It has been proven that the XX chain with the (XZX+YZY)-type of threesite interactions can be transformed to the one with the (XZY−YZX)-type and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction by a local spin rotation [11,16].…”
