Antiferromagnetic spin canting and magnetoelectric multipoles in h-YMnO_{3}

Hexagonal YMnO_{3} is a prototype antiferromagnet which exhibits multiferroic behavior with the ferroelectric and magnetic transitions occurring at different temperatures. We observe an out-of-plane canting of the Mn^{3+} magnetic moments using resonant x-ray diffraction (RXD) in a single crystal of...
