Rare earth chromites: a new family of multiferroics

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Heavy rare earth chromites of the formula LnCrO3 with Ln = Ho, Er, Yb, Lu and Y are shown to be multiferroic, exhibiting canted antiferromagnetism at low temperatures (TN = 113–140 K) and a ferroelectric transition in the 472–516 K range.
