Abstract

Magnetic frustration can suppress conventional magnetic ordering and give rise to exotic magnetic states and emergent functionalities. In this study, we investigate the ferrorotational compound RbFe(SeO4)2 with strong magnetic frustration. Our results reveal a helical magnetic structure emerging below the Néel temperature TN∼1.57 K. Magnetic diffuse scattering above TN confirms short-range correlations. Magnetoelectric measurements demonstrate magnetoelectric coupling behavior below TN. Monte Carlo simulations reproduce the experimental χ-T and M-H curves and help extract effective exchange interactions. These findings position RbFe(SeO4)2 as a promising platform for studying the interplay between spin magnitude, dimensionality, frustration, magnetoelectric coupling, and exploring the crossover between classical and quantum magnetic regimes.
