In recent years there has been growing scientific interest in materials exhibiting the magnetoelectric (ME) effect. Research has mainly been focused on multiferroic materials, where two or more ferroically ordered states exist simultaneously. We show that the class of ME materials may be extended to those, where two glassy states of different nature occur simultaneously. This can be realized in incipient ferroelectrics like SrTiO3 or KTaO3 moderately doped with a paramagnetic cation, e.g. with Mn2+ [1]. The transitions into glassy states manifest themselves by anomalies in the temperature dependencies of the dielectric and magnetic susceptibilities as well as by a particular memory effects (”hole burning”). The ME effects were directly measured using a modified SQUID susceptometer. Although the amount of magnetically active ions is relatively small, a strong higher order ME coupling via both the ”paramagnetoelectric” EH2 and the ”magneto-capacitive” E2H2 effects is observed.
