Abstract

We introduce a minimal spin model for describing the magnetic properties of CuCrO2. Our Monte Carlo simulations of this model reveal a rich magnetic-field-induced phase diagram, which explains the measured field dependence of the electric polarization. The sequence of phase transitions between different multiferroic states arises from a subtle interplay between spatial and spin anisotropy, magnetic frustration, and thermal fluctuations. Our calculations are compared to new measurements up to 92 T. © 2014 American Physical Society.
