Abstract

We theoretically study one-dimensional spin-1/2 multiferroic systems. We focus on the chiral ordered phase with gapless excitations that appears under easy-plane anisotropy. The in-plane chirality dynamics contains gapless solitons associated with local flips of the chirality. These excitations contribute to the low-frequency dielectric response through the magnetoelectric coupling.
