Linear Magnetoelectric Coupling and Ferroelectricity Induced by Flexomagnetic Effect in Ferroics

9 Linear Magnetoelectric Coupling and Ferroelectricity Induced by Flexomagnetic Effect in Ferroics 

In this section we consider a new mechanism of the Unear homogeneous magnetoelectrics or multiferroics (improper ferroelectrics-(anti)ferromagnets) creation with the help of the flexomagnetic effect. The ferroelectric-(anti)ferromagnetic 

4 True Nanoferroics with the Properties Absent in Corresponding Bulk Samples 

The section is organized as follows. In the Sect. 4.3.9.1 we analyze the possible existence of the flexomagnetic tensor in all 90 bulk magnetic classes and show that 69 of them are flexomagnetic. Then we explore how the symmetry breaking due to the surface presence, alters the local symmetry and thus the form of the flexomagnetic tensors. 

In the Sect. 4.3.9.6 we study the influence of the flexo-magnetoelectric effect on the dielectric and magnetoelectric susceptibility of ferroelectrics-antiferromagnets
