Ab initio cycloidal and chiral magnetoelectric responses in Cr2 O3

We present a thorough density functional theory study of the magneto-electric (ME) effect in Cr2O3. The spin-lattice ME tensor α was determined in the low-field and spin flop (SF) phases, using the method of dynamical magnetic charges, and found to be the sum of three distinct components. Two of the...
