All the magnetoelectric properties of scheelite-type DyCrO₄ are characterized by temperature- and field-dependent magnetization, specific heat, permittivity, electric polarization, and neutron diffraction measurements. Upon application of a magnetic field within ±3 T, the nonpolar collinear antiferromagnetic structure leads to a large linear magnetoelectric effect with a considerable coupling coefficient. An applied electric field can induce the converse linear magnetoelectric effect, realizing magnetic field control of ferroelectricity and electric field control of magnetism. Furthermore, a higher magnetic field (>3 T) can cause a metamagnetic transition from the initially collinear antiferromagnetic structure to a canted structure, generating a large ferromagnetic magnetization up to 7.0 μ_B f.u.⁻¹. Moreover, the new spin structure can break the space inversion symmetry, yielding ferroelectric polarization, which leads to coupling of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity with a large ferromagnetic component.

白钨矿型DyCrO _4的所有磁电特性都取决于与温度和场相关的磁化强度，比热，介电常数，电极化和中子衍射测量。在±3 T范围内施加磁场后，非极性共线反铁磁结构会导致较大的线性磁电效应，并具有相当大的耦合系数。施加的电场可以引起相反的线性磁电效应，从而实现铁电的磁场控制和磁的电场控制。此外，更高的磁场（> 3 T）可引起从初始共线反铁磁结构的变磁过渡到倾斜结构，产生大的铁磁磁化高达7.0μ_乙 fu ^-1。此外，新的自旋结构可以破坏空间反转对称性，产生铁电极化，从而导致铁磁和铁电与较大的铁磁分量耦合。
