Symmetry, incommensurate magnetism and ferroelectricity: the case of the rare-earth manganites RMnO3

The complete irreducible co-representations of the paramagnetic space group provide a simple and direct path to explore the symmetry restrictions of magnetically driven ferroelectricity. The method consists of a straightforward generalization of the method commonly used in the case of displacive mod...
