Microscopic aspects of ferroelectricity are canonically related to polar atomic displacements that break inversion symmetry of the crystal, leading to a non-zero net electric dipole moment. However, ...

Big data and exponential demands for computations are driving an unsustainable rise in global ICT energy use. A new study reviews the use of the 'multiferroic' material bismuth-ferrite, which allows ...

BERKELEY, CA – Multiferroics are materials in which unique combinations of electric and magnetic properties can simultaneously coexist. They are potential cornerstones in future magnetic data storage ...

Schematic illustration of designing two-dimensional room-temperature multiferroic materials through d-p spin coupling and symmetry-breaking hexagonal heterocycles. Recently, a research group led by ...

Over the last few decades, multiferroics have emerged as a frontier in condensed matter physics and material science. Multiferroics are unique in their ability to exhibit both ferroelectric and ...

Multiferroic compounds have the potential to be energy-efficient information storage devices, but it has been difficult to realize the simultaneous control of multiple ferroic orders. Researchers ...

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 development of novel ...

Multiferroic (MF) materials are materials that have both magnetic and ferroelectric properties. They are particularly interesting to materials scientists as they allow the manipulation of magnetic ...

Dr. Seungwoo Song with Prof. Hyun Myung Jang and colleagues Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have clarified why the measured remanent polarization of orthorhombic GaFeO3 (o-GFO), ...

(Nanowerk News) A new University of New South Wales (UNSW) study comprehensively reviews the magnetic structure of the multiferroic material bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3 – BFO). BFO is unique in that it ...
