Charge Ordering of Multiferroic LuFe2O4: Influence of Doping and Electric Field

Article Preview

Abstract:

Charge ordering of nonstoichiometric LuFe2O4+δ is discussed. Properties of triangular bilayer are investigated via mean field theory with Coulomb interaction between sites. It is shown that low temperature state of bilayer has dipole moment essentially under any doping parameter. Correlation between sites in neighbor layers is estimated and dimer partially disordered antiferroelectric phase is extended for the case of nonstoichiometric samples. Competition of correlation effect with bilayer interaction and external electric field is discussed. Phase diagrams for doped specimen are presented. The results of investigation are used to clarify a significant surface impact.
