摘要
YbMnO3 has an antiferromagnetic (AFM) and field-induced ferromagnetic transitions at 80 and 3 K, respectively. It also exhibits a ferroelectric transition at much higher temperature (similar to 1000 K), making it a rare example of systems having both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic transitions. In the present study, magnetic field induced ferromagnetism of an YbMnO3 epitaxial film was recognized at 80 K, which is much higher temperature than that of single crystal. The magnetic frustration behaviors were also observed below 87 K. Regarding the cross-correlation phenomena, a coupling between the ferroelectric domain switching and the AFM spin ordering is demonstrated using a real multiferroic material, YbMnO3 epitaxial film.
