Coupling between magnetic and dielectric properties has been attracting renewed interest because of the fundamental as well as technological importance of controlling the electric (magnetic) polarization by an external magnetic (electric) field. Here, we report the phenomenon that an external magnetic field induces and/or modifies ferroelectric states in a magnetic material, DyMn2O5. Measurements of the temperature dependence of hysteretic polarization curves, pyroelectric current, specific heat, optical second harmonic generation, and x-ray superlattice peaks have revealed successive phase transitions between 43 and 4 K, accompanying three ferroelectric phases. The zero-field lowest-temperature phase (
