This review aims to summarize more than 100 years of research on spinel compounds,
mainly focusing on the progress in understanding their magnetic, electronic, and polar …

Strongly correlated materials are profoundly affected by the repulsive electron‐electron
interaction. This stands in contrast to many commonly used materials such as silicon and …

The mineral magnetite (Fe3O4) undergoes a complex structural distortion and becomes
electrically insulating at temperatures less than 125 kelvin. Verwey proposed in 1939 that …

Verwey transition (VT) of Fe3O4 has been extensively investigated as this results in sharp
changes in its physical properties. Exploitation of VT for potential applications in spin/charge …

In the last two decades, significant progress has been made in combining ferroelectricity and
magnetism in the same material. Usually, magnetism and ferroelectricity were thought of as …

Although ceramics have been known to mankind literally for millennia, research has never
ceased. Apart from the classic uses as a bulk material in pottery, construction, and …

Beyond a conventional classification of ferroelectricity, there is a class of materials where
electronic degrees of freedom and electronic interactions are directly responsible for electric …

The Verwey transition in magnetite (Fe3O4) is the first metal–insulator transition ever
observed and involves a concomitant structural rearrangement and charge–orbital ordering …

We show results of broadband dielectric measurements on the charge ordered, proposed to
be multiferroic material LuFe 2 O 4. The temperature and frequency dependence of the …

" a very detailed book on multiferroics that will be useful for PhD students and researchers
interested in this emerging field of materials science"—Dr. Wilfrid Prellier, Research Director …
