Abstract

Thermodynamic properties of the helical spins with magnetoelectric coupling is simulated by Monte Carlo algorithm. It is shown that the spin-spin correlations are affected by the thermal fluctuations and the electric field. Results for the temperature-dependence of ferroelectric polarization and the susceptibility are also presented in connection with the multiferroic phase transition.
