摘要：

We have investigated magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in the single-molecule magnet Mn4Te4(PEt3)4 with tetrahedral spin frustration. Our density functional studies found that an electric dipole moment can emerge with various noncollinear spin orderings. The forms of spin-dependent dipole are determined and consistent with that in noncentrosymmetric magnets driven by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Writing a parameterized spin Hamiltonian, after solving for eigenvalues and eigenstates, we quantified the ME coupling by calculating the thermal average of the electric and magnetic susceptibilities, which can be influenced by external magnetic and electric fields, respectively. The quadratic relations are expected to be observable in experiments.
