Conventional and rotating magnetoelectric effect of a half-filled spin-electron model on a doubly decorated square lattice

Publication date: Available online 10 September 2019Source: Physics Letters AAuthor(s): Hana Čenčariková, Jozef StrečkaAbstractA conventional and rotating magnetoelectric effect of a half-filled spin-electron model on a doubly decorated square lattice is investigated by exact calculations. An importance of the electron hopping and spatial orientation of the electric field upon a magnetoelectric effect is examined in detail. A critical temperature may display one or two consecutive round maxima as a function of the electric field. Although the rotating magnetoelectric effect (RME) does not affect the ground-state ordering, the pronounced RME is found close to a critical temperature of continuous phase transition. It is shown that RME is amplified upon strengthening of the electric field, which additionally supports thermal fluctuations in destroying a spontaneous antiferromagnetic long-range order.
