Abstract

Magnetic and dielectric properties of Eu_1-xY_xMnO ₃ (0 ≥ x ≥ 0.4) were studied in pulsed-magnetic fields up to 55 T. In paraelectric EuMnO₃, application of magnetic fields along the b-axis causes a first order transition to the ferroelectric phase with the electric polarization parallel to the a-axis. Similar first order transitions are also observed in Eu_0.6Y_0.4MnO₃, in which the ferroelectric phase is already stable in zero field. A possible microscopic origin of the novel multiferroic phase in high field is discussed.
