In spiral multiferroics, magnetism induces ferroelectricity, thus holding a promise for novel memory devices where an electric field switches magnetic bits. However, such a switching process, in which magnetic domain walls are moved…
Domain walls are the transition regions between two magnetic domains. These objects have been very relevant during the last decade, not only due to their intrinsic interest in the development of novel spintronics devices but also because of…
