We investigate the origin of the coplanar helicoidal magnetic structure and the ferroelectric polarization in Cu3Nb2O8 by combining first-principles calculations and our spin-induced ferroelectric polarization model. The coplanar helicoidal spin state comes from the competition between the isotropic exchange interactions, and the ferroelectric polarization from the symmetric exchange striction with slight spin canting. However, the direction of the polarization is not determined by the orientation of the spin rotation plane.
