Universal emergence of spatially-modulated structures induced by flexo-antiferrodistortive coupling in multiferroics (1301.2360v2)
Published 10 Jan 2013 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci
Abstract: We proved the existence of a universal flexo-antiferrodistortive coupling as a necessary complement to the well-known flexoelectric coupling. The coupling is universal for all antiferrodistortive systems and can lead to the formation of incommensurate, spatially-modulated phases in multiferroics. Our analysis can provide a self-consistent mesoscopic explanation for a broad range of modulated domain structures observed experimentally in multiferroics.
