Popis: This work investigates the cumulative effects of fluctuations of order parameters and magnetoelectric coupling on the two-dimensional RMnO 3 (R = Tb, Lu and Y). The study is carried out through a modified Landau model resulting from microscopic considerations. It is shown that during the transition from the paramagnetic (paraelectric) to ferromagnetic (ferroelectric) phases, the appearance of the spontaneous magnetization and polarization strongly depends on the fluctuations of order parameters and the magnetoelectric coupling. The prevalence of the fluctuation effects on the magnetoelectric constraints is also exhibited. This study can be used to understand the mechanism of magnetization induced by a ferroelectric phase transition and vice versa observed in multiferroic compounds.
