The magnetic properties and the origins of ferroelectric polarization in recently discovered multiferroics material CaMnOhave been investigated on the basis of model analysis and first-principles calculations. We find the noncollinear-type exchange-striction mechanism and thep-dhybridization with spin-orbit coupling coexist in the origins of polarization. The induced giant ferroelectricity can be mainly attributed to the former, related to two kinds of charge-order chains combined with the same spiral spin chirality as Mn ions. Our results confirm that the polarization induced by the two mechanisms follows theandlaws, respectively.
