Title

Investigating magnetostriction in super-hard epsilon-Fe2O3 polymorph

Abstract

Epsilon-Fe2O3 presents a complex non-centrosymmetric Pna21 magnetically frustrated structure. It displays functional properties such as huge coercivity, millimeter-wave ferromagnetic resonance, non-linear magneto-optical effect, magnetoelectric coupling, multiferroicity at room temperature, and rich magnetic and magnetostructural properties that are very poorly understood. It is one of the less studied ferrimagnetic iron oxides due to its difficult preparation. The main objective of this experiment under magnetic field is to gain insight on the magneto-structural mechanisms that give rise to the unique super-hard ferrimagnetic phase (FM2) in this exotic trivalent iron oxide.
