Royal Society Inaugural Article Perspective: Multiferroics Beyond Electric-Field Control of Magnetism

Materials Science 2021-06-02 v2

Abstract

Multiferroic materials, with their combined and coupled magnetism and ferroelectricity, providea playground for studying new physics and chemistry as well as a platform for development ofnovel devices and technologies. Based on my July 2017 Royal Society Inaugural Lecture, I review recent progress and propose future directions in the fundamentals and applications of multiferroics, with a focus on unanticipated developments outside of the core activity of electric-field control of magnetism.
