External electric field and strain effects in a quantum paramagnetA. A. Zvyagin B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Kharkiv 61103, Ukraine Received December 29, 2020, published online February 26, 2021 Abstract Influence of the external electric field and the external strain on a quantum paramagnetic insulator is studied. It is shown that the external electric field and/or strain can cause drastic changes in the magnetic characteristics of the paramagnet. Key words: magnetic anisotropy, electric field, external strain, magnetic moment. |
