Abstract

The cross responses of the magnetic and electric properties of linarite PbCuSO4(OH)2 to the conjugated electric and magnetic fields are investigated. The theoretical laboratory is built on a frustrated spin chain model of the crystal. A critical phase of metatransitions is strongly highlighted below TN. The sharp magnetic and electric anomalies are attributed to spin-flops. Moreover, the metamagnetic and metaelectric transitions fitting exactly at the same points as the same phenomenon in the magnetoelectric design appear as a signature of the metamagnetoelectric effect. These findings suggest that linarite could be classified as a metamagnetoelectric multiferroic, with promising applications.
