SANSPOL on the M(E) effect in BSMFO as function of magnetic and electric field

Among the single-phase candidates for multiferroicity, the hexaferrite family is of particular interest due to the giant magnetoelectric (ME) coupling, which was recently reported in single crystalline Ba2-xSrxMg2Fe12O22 (BSMFO) with x = 1.6. However, its microscopic origin is still in debate. As a follow-up to our previous experiment at ZOOM (2210358), we propose to shed light on the ME effect in BSMFO using SANSPOL under applied magnetic and electric fields, and to extend our knowledge by measuring the full magnetoelectric hysteresis loop.
