Abstract There is a profound analogy between the inhomogeneous magnetoelectric effect in multiferroics and the flexoelectric effect in liquid crystals. This similarity gives rise to the flexomagnetoelectric polarization induced by spin modulation. The theoretical estimations of flexomagnetoelectric polarization agree with the value of jumps of magnetoelectric dependences (∼20 μC/m 2 ) observed at spin cycloid suppression in a critical magnetic field of 200 kOe.
