摘要：

We present a first-principles scheme for the computation of the linear magnetoelectric response of magnetic insulators. We focus on the lattice-mediated part of the response, which we argue can be expected to be dominant in materials displaying strong magnetoelectric couplings. We apply our method to Cr2O3 and show that its low-temperature response has a significant lattice character.
