The manipulation of magnetic properties by an electric field in magnetoelectric multiferroic
materials has driven significant research activity, with the goal of realizing their …

Materials with a coexistence of magnetic and ferroelectric order—multiferroics—provide an
efficient route for the control of magnetism by electric fields. The study of multiferroics dates …

Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic …

Multiferroics are those materials with more than one ferroic order, and magnetoelectricity
refers to the mutual coupling between magnetism (spins and/or magnetic field) and …

Materials that exhibit simultaneous order in their electric and magnetic ground states hold
promise for use in next-generation memory devices in which electric fields control …

Multiferroics were considered to be rare because magnetism and ferroelectricity require
entirely different criteria for the materials. Several multiferroic oxides have, however, been …

Hexagonal rare-earth manganites and ferrites are well-known improper ferroelectrics with
low-temperature antiferromagnetism/weak ferromagnetism. In recent decades, new multi …

Orbital degrees of freedom mediating an interaction between spin and lattice were predicted
to raise strong magnetoelectric effect, ie, to realize an efficient coupling between magnetic …
