Investigation of Anisotropic Magnetic and Dielectric Behavior of Chiral Magnetic Oxide CoTeMoO₆

Chiral magnetic insulators are subjects of recent research due to their potential to host topological magnetic structures and multiferroic properties. The delicate interplay between collinear magnetic exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya, and anisotropic interactions in such materials result in non-trivial magnetic textures. We have prepared single crystalline samples belonging to the MTeMoO₆ (M = Co, Mn) family using top seeded melt growth. Our investigation of magnetic, structural, and dielectric properties of CoTeMoO₆ indicates strongly anisotropic magnetic and dielectric behavior. This work will shed light on the origin of these anisotropic behaviors based on the magnetic structure determined using neutron diffraction.
