摘要
We report on diffraction measurements on multiferroic TbMnO3 which demonstrate that the Tb- and Mn-magnetic orders are coupled below the ferroelectric transition T-FE = 28 K. For T < T-FE the magnetic propagation vectors (tau) for Tb and Mn are locked so that tau(Tb) = tau(Mn), while below T-N(Tb) = 7 K we find that tau(Tb) and tau(Mn) lock-in to rational values of 3/7b(*) and 2/7 b(*), respectively, and obey the relation 3 tau(Tb) - tau(Mn) = 1. We explain this novel matching of wave vectors within the frustrated anisotropic next- nearest- neighbor Ising model coupled to a periodic external field produced by the Mn-spin order. The tau(Tb) = tau(Mn) behavior is recovered when Tb magnetization is small, while the tau(Tb) = 3/7 regime is stabilized at low temperatures by a peculiar arrangement of domain walls in the ordered state of Ising-like Tb spins.
