Abstract (300 words maximum)
The materials that lack mirror reflection symmetry are called chiral materials. Such chiral materials often exhibit non-collinear or topological magnetic structures such as magnetic skyrmions. If such materials are insulating and magnetoelectric, then they can be ideal candidates to study the control and manipulation of magnetic textures using electric field rather than electric current. Motivated by this idea, we are studying the insulating chiral materials belonging MMoTeO6 (M=Co, Mn, Fe, Cu, Ni) family. I will talk about the solid-state synthesis CoTeMoO6 compound and its characterization using X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, and dielectric measurements.
