In a magnetoelectric material the electric and magnetic responses are intertwined and cross control via the application of external magnetic and electric field are enabled. Ferroelectric polarization implies a special distortion of the lattice where dipolar moment related to the separation of the positive and negative ions are not compensated within the unit cell. Therefore we immediately can imagine the intricate and complicated connection between the magnetoelectric and magnetoelastic properties of a multiferroic.
The Swedenborgite CaBaCo4O7 exhibits a polar structure, which is accompanied by a ferrimagnetic order at TC=62 K and a record large change in the ferroelectric polarization. Correspondingly, former magnetoelastic measurements have indeed confirmed the presence of a giant magnetoelastic distortion close to TC; However, less is known about the magnetoelastic anisotropies.
Here, we report a detailed study of the magnetoelastic anisotropy, completing the connection between magnetoelasticity and magnetoelectricity in this material family. We also report on an unusual feature of the piezomagnetic effect, which suggests the importance of the orbitals in the piezomagnetoelectric effects.
