abstract = {The tetragonal copper oxide Bi2CuO4 has an unusual crystal
structure with a three-dimensional network of well separated
CuO4 plaquettes. The spin structure of Bi2CuO4 in the
magnetically ordered state below TN∼43 K remains
controversial. Here we present the results of detailed
studies of specific heat, magnetic, and dielectric
properties of Bi2CuO4 single crystals grown by the floating
zone technique, combined with the polarized neutron
scattering and high-resolution x-ray measurements. Down to
3.5 K our polarized neutron scattering measurements reveal
ordered magnetic Cu moments which are aligned within the ab
plane. Below the onset of the long range antiferromagnetic
ordering we observe an electric polarization induced by an
applied magnetic field, which indicates inversion symmetry
breaking by the ordered state of Cu spins. For the magnetic
field applied perpendicular to the tetragonal axis, the
spin-induced ferroelectricity is explained in terms of the
linear magnetoelectric effect that occurs in a metastable
magnetic state. A relatively small electric polarization
induced by the field parallel to the tetragonal axis may
indicate a more complex magnetic ordering in Bi2CuO4.},
