Structural and magnetic interplay in multiferroic Ho₀.₅Nd₀.₅Fe₃(BO₃)₄ by Tripathy, A., Gautam, K., Dey, K., Sahu, S. R., Ahad, A., Upadhyay, A., Sagdeo, A., Francoual, S., Bereciartua, P. J., Gudim, I., Strempfer, J., Sathe, V. G., Shukla, D. K.

“…Among them Ho0.5Nd0.5Fe3(BO3)4 has attracted the most attention, as it exhibits a multiferroic property with a large, spontaneous, and magnetic-field-induced electric polarization (P) below the antiferromagnetic transition temperature (TN∼32 K). This compound has been reported to be noncentrosymmetric (nonpolar) down to the lowest temperature, and the origin of spontaneous electric polarization below TN is not known. …”
