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 ...

Engineers at Rice University in the U.S. have developed a new room-temperature multiferroic material ...

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 ...

(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 ...

A team of researchers from the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory has discovered a new way that magnetic and electric properties can coexist in a special category of metals. These ...

A new UNSW study comprehensively reviews the magnetic structure of the multiferroic material bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3 - BFO). The review advances FLEET's search for low-energy electronics, bringing ...

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 ...

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 (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 ...
