Magnetoelectric Polarization of Paramagnetic HoAl3-XGaX(BO3)4 Single Crystals

Article Preview

Abstract:

HoAl3-xGax(BO3)4 (0 ≤ х ≤ 3) single crystals were grown from Bi2Mo3O12Li2MoO4-based fluxes. Structural inversion twinning depending on crystal composition and heat treatment conditions is revealed. It is established that upon substitution of Ga3+ ions for Al3+ the magnetic characteristics of the crystals do not significantly change, while the magnetoelectric polarization decreases with increasing gallium content. The measured value and sign of polarization charges depend on a ratio between the left and right isomers.
