description

Multiferroics (MF) are materials that exhibit simultaneouslyseveral ferroic order parameters. Among the multiferroicmaterials, those combining antiferro- or ferroelectricity (FE)and antiferro-, ferri-, or ferromagnetism (FM) within thesame material are highly desirable: the coexistence of thepolar and magnetic orders paves the way towards four-levelmemories while their interactions through the magnetoelec-tric effect makes it possible to control the magnetization byelectric fields and hence to develop electronically tuneablemagnetic devices, which are an essential feature for spin-tronics.
