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 …

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 …

Multiferroic materials, which show simultaneous ferroelectric and magnetic ordering, exhibit
unusual physical properties—and in turn promise new device applications—as a result of …

Multiferroics, defined for those multifunctional materials in which two or more kinds of
fundamental ferroicities coexist, have become one of the hottest topics of condensed matter …

The study of magnetoelectric materials has recently received renewed interest, in large part
stimulated by breakthroughs in the controlled growth of complex materials and by the search …

The control of magnetism by electric fields is an important goal for the future development of
low-power spintronics. Various approaches have been proposed on the basis of either …

We review the recent developments in the electric field control of magnetism in multiferroic
heterostructures, which consist of heterogeneous materials systems where a …

In this paper, we review some of the key concepts in ultrathin film magnetism which underpin
nanomagnetism. We survey the results of recent experimental and theoretical studies of well …

The magnetic exchange between epitaxial thin films of the multiferroic (antiferromagnetic
and ferroelectric) hexagonal YMnO 3 oxide and a soft ferromagnetic (FM) layer is used to …

We review and critique the recent developments on multifunctional oxide materials, which
are gaining a good deal of interest. Recongnizing that this is a vast area, the focus of this …
