Abstract

A detailed zero-and transverse-field muon spin rotation investigation of magnetism and the magnetoelectric coupling in Cu2OSeO3 is reported. An internal magnetic field B-int(T = 0) = 85.37(25) mT was found, in agreement with a ferrimagnetic state below T-c = 57.0(1) K. The temperature dependence of the magnetic order parameter is well described by the relation B-int = B(0)(1 - (T/T-c)(2))((beta) over tilde) with an effective exponent (beta) over tilde similar or equal to 0.39(1), which is close to the critical exponent beta similar or equal to 1/3 for a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic system. Just above T-c the muon relaxation rate follows the power law lambda(T) proportional to (T/T-c - 1)(-(omega) over tilde) with (omega) over tilde = 1.06(9), which is characteristic for 3D ferromagnets. Measurements of B-int(T) with and without an applied electrostatic field E = 1.66 x 10(5) V/m suggest a possible electric-field effect of magnitude Delta B-V = B-V(0 V) - B-V(500 V) = -0.4(4) mT.

Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are familiar metals that are noticeably attracted to a magnet, a consequence of their substantial magnetic permeability. Magnetic permeability describes the induced magnetization of a material due to the presence of an external magnetic field.

Magnetic moment

In electromagnetism, the magnetic moment is the magnetic strength and orientation of a magnet or other object that produces a magnetic field. Examples of objects that have magnetic moments include loops of electric current (such as electromagnets), permanent magnets, elementary particles (such as electrons), composite particles (such as protons and neutrons), various molecules, and many astronomical objects (such as many planets, some moons, stars, etc).

Magnetic susceptibility

In electromagnetism, the magnetic susceptibility (; denoted χ, chi) is a measure of how much a material will become magnetized in an applied magnetic field. It is the ratio of magnetization M (magnetic moment per unit volume) to the applied magnetizing field intensity H. This allows a simple classification, into two categories, of most materials' responses to an applied magnetic field: an alignment with the magnetic field, χ > 0, called paramagnetism, or an alignment against the field, χ < 0, called diamagnetism.
