A very large drop in dielectric constant upon application of small magnetic fields is observed at room temperature for LuFe 2 O 4 (see figure). Such behavior is unprecedented and indicates a strong coupling of spins and electric dipoles at room temperature. This behavior of LuFe 2 O 4 is apparently related to its ferroelectricity, which occurs through the highly unusual mechanism of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ordering.
