3. The effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>high</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> on the <strong>magnetic</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> ferroelectric phases in multiferroics<br />

The effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>pressure</strong> on the <strong>magnetic</strong> order is fundamentally different from the<br />

external <strong>magnetic</strong> field effects<br />

Magnetic field couples to the moments (spins) <strong>and</strong> tends to align them<br />

Pressure changes the interatomic distances <strong>and</strong> bond angles resulting in a<br />

control <strong>of</strong> the exchange coupling constants<br />

For example:<br />

3d – 2p – 3d superexchange coupling strongly depends on the<br />

Mn – O – Mn bond angle<br />

superexchange coupling J<br />

The real effects <strong>of</strong> compression are more complex because <strong>of</strong> lattice anisotropies<br />

<strong>and</strong> multiple exchange constants affected by <strong>pressure</strong>
