We propose to search for novel mechanisms leading to magnetically-induced ferroelectricity. We will focus on materials where disorder causes magnetic frustration and leads to symmetry-breaking magnetic structures. We will synthesize polycrystalline and single-crystalline materials and characterize their physical properties using magnetic and electric measurements. The microscopic structural and magnetic properties will be determined using a collection of neutron and X-ray scattering techniques.
