Abstract
The multiferroic hexagonal RMnO3 compounds with R = Sc, Y, In, Ho–Lu are shown to be the source of ‘gigantic’ magnetoelectric effects: the application of static magnetic or electric field induces a phase transition with antiferromagnetic reordering of the Mn3+ sublattice and ferromagnetic ordering in the rare-earth sublattices. In addition, a coupling of magnetic and electric domain walls is observed.
