Symmetry and magnetically driven ferroelectricity in rare-earth manganites RMnO3 (R=Gd,Tb,Dy)

This work investigates the magnetically driven ferroelectricity in orthorhombic manganites RMnO3 R=Gd, Dy, or Tb from the point of view of the symmetry. The method adopted generalizes the one used to characterize the polar properties of displacive modulated structures to the case of an irreducible m...
