摘要：

A giant magnetoelectric polarization is found in HoAl3(BO3)(4). The polarization in transverse field geometry at 70 kOe reaches 3600 mu C/m(2), which is significantly higher than reported values of linear magnetoelectric or even multiferroic compounds. The magnetostrictive effect is also measured and compared with the magnetoelectricity. The results show that spin-lattice coupling in HoAl3(BO3)(4) is extremely strong and that the magnetic field causes a large polar distortion of the ionic positions in the unit cell.
