Description
Magnetoelectric materials exhibit a coupling between their magnetic and electric order parameters, which has lead to a manifestation of different magnetoelectric-driven behavior. Novel magnetoelectric responses now at the forefront of scrutiny for augmenting next-generational technological devices. Here, we present a unique magnetoelectric response. Specifically, we report the ability to reliably deflect the propagation direction of an entire incommensurate magnetic spiral structure. Theoretical modelling suggests the mechanism of the magnetoelectric spiral deflection is due to competing anisotropies together with the symmetry-breaking of the applied electric field, and predicts the onset of diverse behavioural regimes which can be dynamically selected by varying the strength of an applied magnetic field.
