Coupling Magnetic and Ferroelectric Phenomena in Designed 2D Thio-and Selenophosphate Crystals

Abstract

Major Goals: The focus of this project was to develop and explore metal chalcophosphates (thiophosphates and selenophosphates ) as a new class of materials that exhibit both magnetic and ferroelectric order with a coupling of the two order parameters at the atomic level, leading to a new class of magnetoferroelectric materials with potential topological properties. Another goal was to see if this unique combination of non-linear ferromagnetic and ferroelectric phenomena in the thiophosphates and selenophosphates coupled with topological phase behavior could provide unique and unexpected findings.
