Dielectric properties of complex magnetic field induced states in PbCuSO4(OH)2

Abstract Spin spirals, which coexist with collinear spin order in linarite PbCuSO4(OH)2, indicate electrical polarisation textures of spin-multipolar phases. We derive experimental evidence by a detailed investigation of the magnetic-field dependent dielectric and electric polarization properties at...

Dielectric properties of complex magnetic field induced states in PbCuSO4(OH)2
description Abstract Spin spirals, which coexist with collinear spin order in linarite PbCuSO4(OH)2, indicate electrical polarisation textures of spin-multipolar phases. We derive experimental evidence by a detailed investigation of the magnetic-field dependent dielectric and electric polarization properties at low temperatures. Linarite exhibits a quasi-one-dimensional frustrated S = ½ spin chain, which forms 3D spin-spiral order in zero magnetic field for T < 2.85 K. Recently, due to the monoclinic lattice of linarite with CuO2 ribbon chains, complex magnetic field induced states were found. These spin-multipolar phases, which compete with spin-density waves at low magnetic fields, exist in close vicinity to the transition from the spin spiral into field induced spin polarized state. Via antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction spin-driven ferroelectricity develops in the spin-spirals state. Via electric polarization measurements this allows to prove the transitions into complex magnetic field induced phases. Thorough analyses of the temperature and magnetic field dependent dielectric properties of a naturally grown single crystalline sample provide a detailed (T,H) phase diagrams for the three different crystallographic directions.
