Zusammenfassung:Pyroelectric property of orthorhomic GdMnO3 polycrystalline samples was investigated. Two pyrocurrent peaks were observed with the sharp one near 20 K and the broad one at around 120 K. The dependences of these two peaks on magnetic field, heating rate, and poling voltage were explored systematically. The sharp peak is related to the ferroelectric transition, while the behavior of the broad one corresponds to dipole reorientation. Some key pyroelectric features are proposed to separate the spin-induced ferroelectricity from other effects. This work is helpful for understanding the pyroelectric property of multiferroic materials.
