摘要：

Mean-field theory based on Heisenberg model is used to investigate the magnetic and magnetoelectric properties at a finite temperature in the A-type anti ferromagnetic lattice, in which we consider that an applied electric field can generate a bulk magnetic moment. We have calculated the magnetic moment, magnetic susceptibility and magnetoelectric susceptibility as a function of temperature for A-type anti ferromagnetic system. It is demonstrated that an applied electric field together with the coupling parameter has an effect on the magnetic ordering behavior. Our results are almost consistent with those of spin-wave theory within the range of low temperature. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
