LuFe₂O₄hosts various fascinating phenomena, such as charge ordered ferroelectricity, multiferroicity¹, giant magnetocapacitance²and strong magnetic anisotropy³. Recently, synthesis of this system in the close proximity of a strong geometric ferroelectric, LuFeO₃, has led to the observation of near room temperature magnetoelectricity and enhancement in magnetism.⁴These phenomena, though not well understood yet, may have their origin in the self-doped LuFe₂O₄ layer. Such observation indicates the possibility of designing new magnetic and magnetoelectric phenomena in this complex system which holds strongly interacting degrees of freedom, such as geometric frustration, spin-orbit coupling and charge ordering, under electron and hole doping. In this talk, we will discuss the evolution of magnetic phases and magnetoelectric behavior as a function of electron and hole doping in LuFe₂O₄. The focus of our discussion will be to understand this system under the limit of high to low spin-orbit coupling and magnetic frustration.
