This German-Russian project aims at investigating magnetoelectric and multiferroic phenomena in the class of low-dimensional mixed spin systems of the howardevansite structure type. This rich and practically uninvestigated family of metal oxides includes, in particular, Fe7(PO4)6, NaFe7(PO4)6, LiCuFe2(VO4)3, and NaCuFe2(VO4)3 which will be studied in beginning of the project while new materials will be addressed furtheron. Our preliminary investigations indicate the presence of significant magnetodielectric coupling in the magnetically ordered state of some of these compounds. At present, magnetically low-dimensional materials such as the howardevansite-type ones at hand with sequences (chains) of different spins are rather rarely studied. The appearance of spontaneous electric polarization in these systems is associated with the formation of non-collinear long-period magnetic structures. In the frame of this project, the synthesis by means of hydrothermal and solid-state methods as well as a variety of sophisticated experimental studies will be applied. To be specific, in addition to standard characterization techniques we will study the specific heat, thermal expansion and magnetostriction, magnetization, pulsed field magnetization, dielectric permittivity, and the dielectric polarization. Application of magnetic field up to 18 T (static) and 35 T (pulsed) will enable constructing the magnetic phase diagrams. In addition, the magnetic ground state will be studied by means of high-frequency Electron-Spin Resonance-Spectroscopy and Muon-Spin-Rotation. This rich variety of methods will provide all relevant information on the magneto-elastic-dielectric couplings, thereby enabling in collaboration with our theory partners to elucidate the mechanisms of magnetelectric coupling and multiferroicity in this class of compounds. As a side activity, the electrochemical properties of Li-based materials will be studied and in-situ SQUID magnetometry will be performed in order to investigate the effect of delithiation on the magnetic properties. We believe that the project will not only yield several particular examples of materials with strong magneto-dielectric coupling realized by a new mechanism in materials with unusual sequences of different spins but will also open an avenue towards a new family of multiferroics and magnetoelectrics.

该德国-俄罗斯项目旨在研究霍华德钒铁矿结构类型的低维混合自旋系统中的磁电和多铁性现象。这一丰富且实际上未经研究的金属氧化物家族特别包括 Fe7(PO4)6、NaFe7(PO4)6、LiCuFe2(VO4)3 和 NaCuFe2(VO4)3，这些将在项目开始时进行研究，同时新材料将进一步解决。我们的初步研究表明，其中一些化合物的磁有序状态存在显着的磁电耦合。目前，具有不同自旋序列（链）的低维磁性材料（例如现有的霍华德锰矿型材料）的研究相当少。这些系统中自发电极化的出现与非共线长周期磁结构的形成有关。在该项目的框架内，将应用水热和固态方法的合成以及各种复杂的实验研究。具体来说，除了标准表征技术之外，我们还将研究比热、热膨胀和磁致伸缩、磁化强度、脉冲场磁化强度、介电常数和介电极化。应用高达 18 T（静态）和 35 T（脉冲）的磁场将能够构建磁相图。此外，还将通过高频电子自旋共振光谱和μ子自旋旋转研究磁基态。这种丰富多样的方法将提供有关磁弹性介电耦合的所有相关信息，从而能够与我们的理论合作伙伴合作阐明此类化合物的磁电耦合和多铁性机制。作为副活动，我们将研究锂基材料的电化学性能，并进行原位 SQUID 磁力测量，以研究脱锂对磁性的影响。我们相信，该项目不仅将产生通过具有不同自旋的不寻常序列的材料的新机制实现的具有强磁介电耦合的材料的几个特定示例，而且还将为新的多铁性和磁电族开辟一条道路。
