Research: The group performs studies of magnetoelectric interactions which provide the unique properties and multiple phase transitions in lanthanide magnetic materials. The main goal is the search of new effects arising due to the influence of magnetoelectric interactions . The main field of research is the study of new effects and types of spin ordering, which result from the interaction of magnetic and electrical subsystems in multiferroics . One of the fundamental problems is the study of the new phenomenon discovered in our group - spontaneous toroidal spin ordering, induced by magnetic field, which manifests itself in multiferroics with special symmetry. We investigate new mechanisms which form non-collinear , non-coplanar and toroidal spin structures in magnetoelectrics. Also we study spontaneous magnetic and structural phase transitions induced by a strong magnetic field up to 300 kOe, which redesign and destroy modulated spin structure and cause dramatic changes in magnetoelectric properties.

Research results in recent years:
We first reported the magnetoelectric properties of rare-earth ferroborates. For example, in samarium ferroborate we discovered giant magnetodielectric effect (large electric polarization is controlled by the external magnetic field). It is found that, spontaneous electric polarization occurs together with the magnetic field induced electric polarization.
