摘要：

We clarify that the antiferromagnetic order in the distorted tetrahedral quasi-one-dimensional spin system induces electric polarization. In this system, the effects of low dimensionality and magnetic frustration are expected to appear simultaneously. We obtain the magnetic-field-temperature phase diagram of Cu3Mo2O9 by studying the dielectric constant and spontaneous electric polarization. Around the tricritical point at 10 T and 8K, the change in the direction of electric polarization causes a colossal magnetocapacitance. We calculate the charge redistribution in a small spin cluster consisting of two magnetic tetrahedra to demonstrate the electric polarization induced by the antiferromagnetism.
