Some current problems in perovskite nano-ferroelectrics and multiferroics: kinetically-limited systems of finite lateral size [PDF]
Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2015 We describe some unsolved problems of current interest; these involve quantum critical points in ferroelectrics and problems which are not amenable to the usual density functional theory, nor to classical Landau free energy approaches (they are ...

Proposing Altermagnetic‐Ferroelectric Type‐III Multiferroics with Robust Magnetoelectric Coupling [PDF]
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Multiferroics are highly sought after for advanced technological applications. Here, a novel class of type‐III multiferroics is proposed, where ferroelectricity and altermagnetism are inherently interlocked by crystal symmetry, setting them apart from conventional multiferroics. The ferroelectric switching is shown to fully invert the spin polarization
