Abstract

We show that the triangular Yafet–Kittel magnetic ordering in AB₂X₄ spinels, in which the sublattice A spins are split into two noncollinear sublattices, leads to the appearance of electric polarization, and thus the crystal becomes multiferroic. Calculation of the magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of MnCr₂S₄ considering single-ion anisotropy illustrates the proposed mechanism.
