Synthesis and physical properties study of polar magnet HoFeWO₆

Polar oxides are important system to study due to their technologically relevant properties such as ferroelectricity, multiferroicity, piezoelectricity, magnetoelectricity. Recently, RFeWO₆ (R=Dy, Y, Tb, Eu) type polar oxides were synthesized and type-II multiferroic property was reported [1]. We have extended this series and successfully synthesized HoFeWO₆ in polar structure. We have also characterized this material using dielectric and magnetization measurements. We will present the synthesis method and the results from the dielectric, structural and magnetic measurements.
