We put forward double perovskites of the R$_2$NiMnO$_6$ family (with $R$ a rare-earth atom) as new class multiferroics on basis {\it ab initio} density functional calculations. show that changing from La to Y drives ground-state ferromagnetic antiferromagnetic with $\uparrow\uparrow\downarrow\downarrow$ spin patterns. This E$^*$-type ordering breaks inversion symmetry and generates ferroelectric polarization few $\mu C/cm^2$. By analyzing model Hamiltonian we understand microscopic origin...

We show that charge ordered rare-earth nickelates of the type RNiO3 (R= Ho, Lu, Pr and Nd) are multiferroic with very large magnetically induced ferroelectric (FE) polarizations. This we determine from first principles electronic structure calculations. The emerging FE polarization is directly tied to long-standing puzzle which kind magnetic ordering present in this class materials: its direction size indicate ground-state spin configuration realized. Vice versa, small energy differences...

Cupric oxide is multiferroic at unusual high temperatures. From density functional calculations we find that the low-T magnetic phase paraelectric and higher-T one ferroelectric, with a size direction of polarization in good agreement experiment. By mapping ab initio results on an effective spin model Monte Carlo high-T state non-collinearity inversion symmetry breaking stabilize each other via Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction. This leads to novel mechanism for multiferroicity, particular...
