Hidden orders and (anti-)magnetoelectric effects in Cr_{2}O_{3} and α-Fe_{2}O_{3}

We present ab initio calculations of hidden magnetoelectric multipolar order in Cr_{2}O_{3} and its iron-based analog, α-Fe_{2}O_{3}. First, we discuss the connection between the order of such hidden multipoles and the linear magnetoelectric effect. Next we show the presence of hidden antiferroicall...
