(2012). Low-temperature ferroelectric phase and magnetoelectric coupling in underdoped La2CuO4+x. Physical Review B, 85(21), 214502-. | Series/Report no.: | Physical review B | Abstract: | We report the discovery of ferroelectricity below 4.5 K in highly underdoped La2CuO4+x accompanied by slow charge dynamics which develop below T ∼ 40 K. An anisotropic magnetoelectric response has also been observed, indicating considerable spin-charge coupling in this lightly doped parent high-temperature copper-oxide superconductor. The ferroelectric state is proposed to develop from polar nanoregions, in which spatial inversion symmetry is locally broken due to nonstoichiometric carrier doping. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/95004 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/9324 |
