Recent research activities on the linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect—induction of
magnetization by an electric field or of polarization by a magnetic field—are reviewed …

Multiferroic materials, with their combined and coupled magnetism and ferroelectricity,
provide a playground for studying new physics and chemistry as well as a platform for the …

Energy bands in antiferromagnets are supposed to be spin degenerate in the absence of
spin–orbit coupling (SOC). Recent studies have identified formal symmetry conditions for …

A large body of work has been reported in the last 5 years on the development of lead‐free
piezoceramics in the quest to replace lead–zirconate–titanate (PZT) as the main material for …

Enhancement of polarization and related properties in heteroepitaxially constrained thin
films of the ferroelectromagnet, BiFeO3, is reported. Structure analysis indicates that the …

Multiferroic magnetoelectrics are materials that are both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric in
the same phase. As a result, they have a spontaneous magnetization that can be switched …

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) based piezoelectric materials are well known for their excellent
piezoelectric properties. However, considering the toxicity of lead and its compounds, there …

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

Results of first-principles electronic structure calculations on the low-temperature monoclinic
phase of the ferromagnetic perovskite BiMnO3 [Atou et al. J. Solid State Chem. 1999, 145 …

The broad spectrum of electronic and optical properties exhibited by oxides offers
tremendous opportunities for microelectronic devices, especially when a combination of …
