Magnetoelectric coupling and multicaloric effects in SrMnO3Alexander Edström and •Claude Ederer — Materials Theory, ETH Zürich, Switzerland

SrMnO3 is a G-type antiferromagnet where ferroelectricity can be induced by epitaxial strain or Ba-substitution. Furthermore, a transition to ferromagnetic order has been predicted under large tensile strain [1], and the two ordering temperatures can in principle be tuned to coincide by varying both strain and composition. SrMnO3 is thus a very rare example of a multiferroic with proper ferroelectric and magnetic order and similar ordering temperatures.

We use first principles electronic structure calculations in combination with first-principles-derived effective model Hamiltonians to obtain the temperature and strain-dependent ferroelectric/magnetic phase diagram of SrMnO3. We then explore coupling effects between the polar and magnetic order. A particular focus thereby are possible multi-caloric effects, i.e., adiabatic temperature changes induced by applied electric and/or magnetic fields, that are very promising for future solid state cooling devices [2].
