Pressure-induced charge orders and their postulated coupling to magnetism in hexagonal multiferroic LuFe₂O₄

F. Liu, Y. Hao, et al.

Explore the fascinating world of hexagonal LuFe₂O₄, a multiferroic material where researchers have discovered three charge-ordered phases linked to magnetic orders through pressure tuning. This groundbreaking study by Fengliang Liu, Yiqing Hao, Jinyang Ni, and collaborators sheds light on the spin-charge phase transitions and uncovers new methods to manipulate spin-charge orders.

Abstract
Hexagonal LuFe₂O₄ is a promising charge order (CO) driven multiferroic material. By tuning external pressure, researchers revealed three charge-ordered phases with suggested correlation to magnetic orders. In situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, combined with density functional theory calculations, suggest that pressure-induced compression in the [Fe₂O₄] cluster is responsible for the correlated spin-charge phase transitions. Pressure-enhanced Coulomb interactions drive the CO to a less frustrated state, inducing a ferrimagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition. The results elucidate the coupling mechanism among charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom and provide a new way to tune spin-charge orders.
