Abstract

Magnetization M, specific heat \(C_p\), polarization P and dielectric constant \(\epsilon \) of DyFeWO\(_6\) are investigated for the first time using a microscopic model and the Green’s function technique. The magnetic field dependence of M for temperatures below and above \(T_N\) is observed. \(C_p\) shows an anomaly at the Neel temperature \(T_N\) which disappears by applying an external magnetic field h. P decreases with increasing h. The antiferromagnetic transition in DyFeWO\(_6\) is accompanied by a peak in \(\epsilon \). With increasing magnetic field the peak decreases, shifts to smaller \(T_N\) values, and for strong magnetic fields vanishes. The magnetic field behaviour of P and \(\epsilon \) is an evidence for the multiferroicity of DyFeWO\(_6\). The observed results are in good qualitative agreement with the existing experimental data.
