| Description |
We observe a distinct anomaly in dielectric permittivity (epsilon(')) as well as relaxation time (tau(0)) versus temperature (T) pattern at the antiferromagnetic transition point T(N) in a single crystal of LaMnO(3). The equivalent circuit analysis of the impedance spectra across T(N) reveals a clear anomaly in the capacitive component C(0) at T(N). Since no structural transition takes place across T(N), the anomaly in tau(0) and C(0) at T(N) possibly signifies multiferroicity stemming from coupling between orbital and spin order in LaMnO(3).
