Abstract

The appearance of a toroidal moment is observed in the magnetoelectric Cr₂O₃ in a strong magnetic field above the spin-flop transition field. This conclusion is based on the experimentally established fact that the off-diagonal components of the magnetoelectric susceptibility tensor of Cr₂O₃ contains an antisymmetric part that is dual to the toroidal moment. Therefore it has been shown that the magnetoelectric Cr₂O₃ in the spin-flop phase can be classified as a toroic.
