Abstract

Dynamical multiferroicity features entangled dynamic orders: fluctuating electric dipoles induce magnetization.Hence, the material with paraelectric fluctuations can develop magnetic signatures if dynamically driven.We identify the paraelectric KTaO 3 (KTO) as a prime candidate for the observation of the dynamical multiferroicity.We show that when a KTO sample is exposed to a circularly polarized laser pulse, the dynamically induced ionic magnetic moments are of the order of 5% of the nuclear magneton per unit cell.We determine the phonon spectrum using ab initio methods, and we identify T 1u as relevant phonon modes that couple to the external field and induce magnetic polarization.We also predict a corresponding electron effect for the dynamically induced magnetic moment, which is enhanced by several orders of magnitude due to the significant mass difference between electron and ionic nucleus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
