Based on recent advances in first-principles theory, we develop a general model of the band
offset at metal/ferroelectric interfaces. We show that, depending on the polarization of the …

We study a quantum Otto engine operating on the basis of a helical spin-1/2 multiferroic
chain with strongly coupled magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters. The presence of a …

Magnetism and transport are two key functional ingredients in modern electronic devices. In
oxide heterostructures, ferroelectricity can provide a new route to control these two …

The invention of the transistor followed by more than 60 years of aggressive device scaling
and process integration has enabled the global information web and subsequently …

Employing first-principles electronic structure calculations, we investigate the
thermodynamic stability, magnetization, and magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) at the …

In a coupled ferroelectric-ferromagnetic system, ie, a composite multiferroic, the propagation
of magnetic or ferroelectric excitations across the whole structure is a key issue for …

In this article, we put forward a new approach to electrodynamics of materials. Based on the
identification of induced electromagnetic fields as the microscopic counterparts of …

Layered magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composites with imperfect interface have been
investigated in recent years for enhancing the important magnetoelectric coupling effect …

We predict that biaxial strain of several percent has a colossal effect on the magnetic
anisotropy of ultrathin Fe/X TiO 3 (X= Sr, Ba) bilayers grown epitaxially on appropriate …

We propose an electromagnetically tunable thermal diode based on a two-phase
multiferroic composite. Analytical and full numerical calculations for a prototypical …
