Popis: We study the magnetoelectric effect in LiFePO4 using the pyrocurrent method to determine the magnetic-field-induced electric polarization as a function of temperature for various applied magnetic field strengths. We discover a diagonal magnetoelectric tensor element not previously reported. This new coupling reflects the emergence of an electric polarization along a induced by a magnetic field along the same direction and is consistent with the symmetry-imposed requirements for the small canting components of the magnetic ground state reported for this compound. Our observation is thus further evidence for a ground state which is not supported by the space group Pnma as originally assigned to LiFePO4.
