The magnetostriction, magnetoelectric effect and phase transitions induced
by a strong magnetic field in EuMn2O5 single crystal have been investigated
. It is known that EuMn2O5 compounds show structural and magnetic phase tra
nsitions and incommensurate magnetic structure around 40 K. New phase trans
itions from a modulated spin structure to a homogeneous structure in EuMn2O
5 at 26 K accompanied by a significant change of electrical polarization in
duced by a high magnetic field have been studied. (C) 2000 Published by Els
