While ferroelectric, ferroelastics, and ferromagnetics are formally multiferroics, these days the term is usually used to describe the magnetoelectric multiferroics that are simultaneously ferromagnetic and …

Jul 5, 2016 · Materials with a coexistence of magnetic and ferroelectric order — multiferroics — provide an efficient route for the control of magnetism by electric fields.

Multiferroic materials are defined as materials that exhibit two or more ferroic order states, such as magnetic, electric, and elastic orders, either in single-phase compounds or composites.

Mar 9, 2009 · To understand the basic phenomena in the field of multiferroics, and appreciate the main achievements and remaining problems in this field, it is necessary to classify multiferroics by the …

Historically, multiferroics are defined as materials with at least two of the forms of primary ferroic order in the same phase. The primary forms of ferroic order are ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, and …

Jan 22, 2020 · Multiferroics have been of particular interest recently both to understand the fundamental aspects of the novel mechanism that gives rise to this magnetic-ferroelectric coupling, as well as …

Mar 13, 2025 · Multiferroics, which exhibit ferroelectricity, and ferromagnetism are highly promising for energy harvesting, sensors, and spintronic device applications. Recent advances in synthesis …

Jun 6, 2025 · Multiferroics are the unicorns of condensed matter physics. They exhibit two or more so-called “ferroic” properties in the same material—typically ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism.

In this article, we give a succinct review of the history of this exciting class of materials and its evolution from “ferroelectromagnets” to “multiferroics” and beyond.

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 …
