Ferroelectricity and lattice distortion associated with spin orderings in a multiferroic delafossite AgFeO2

Spin-lattice coupling and ferroelectric polarization associated with the magnetic ordering in a geometrically frustrated delafossite AgFeO2 have been studied by high resolution neutron powder diffraction and dielectric measurements. The cycloidal magnetic ground state found in this material and the...
