Abstract
A very unusual magnetic behaviour of α-Bi2O3 was observed in a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields. A longitudinal magnetoelectric effect was found at 4.2 K. The existence of an antiferroelectrically ordered subsystem of electric dipoles in α-Bi2O3 is proposed. The mechanism of spin-orbitcoupling is regarded as the physical origin for the occurrence of the ordered magnetic moments in α-Bi2O3. © 2014, Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
