The magnetic and ferroelectric (FE) properties of ThMnO(3) are investigated on the basis of relativistic density functional theory calculations. We show that, due to spin-orbit coupling, the spin-spiral plane of TbMnO(3) can be either the bc or ab plane, but not the ac plane. As for the mechanism of FE polarization, our work reveals that the pure electronic model by Katsura, Nagaosa, and Balatsky is inadequate in predicting the absolute direction of FE polarization. Our work indicates that to determine the magnitude and the absolute direction of FE polarization in spin-spiral states, it is crucial to consider the displacements of the ions from their centrosymmetric positions.
