A ferroelectric crystal exhibits a stable and switchable electrical polarization that is
manifested in the form of cooperative atomic displacements. A ferromagnetic crystal exhibits …

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

Transition metal L2, 3 electron energy-loss spectra for a wide range of V-, Mn-and Fe-based
oxides were recorded and carefully analyzed for their correlation with the formal oxidation …

The growth and characterization of functional oxide thin films that are ferroelectric, magnetic,
or both at the same time are reviewed. The evolution of synthesis techniques and how …

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 …

Multiferroic materials, or materials that simultaneously possess two or more ferroic order
parameters, have returned to the forefront of materials research. Driven by the desire to …

Application of the field-effect transistor principle to novel materials to achieve electrostatic
doping is a relatively new research area. It may provide the opportunity to bring about …

In numerous systems, giant physical responses have been discovered when two phases
coexist; for example, near a phase transition. An intermetallic FeRh system undergoes a first …

Reversible electric‐field control of the metal‐insulator transition in the rare earth nickelate
compound NdNiO 3 is demonstrated. Using the electric double layer technique, giant …
