Metallic ferroelectric-ferromagnetic multiferroics in strained EuTiO$_{3-x}$H$_x$ [PDF]
Polar metals are defined by the coexistence of metallicity and polar crystal structure. They have potential applications in non-linear optics, ferroelectric devices, and quantum devices. Meanwhile, ferroelectric-ferromagnetic (FE-FM) multiferroics display simultaneous ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism, leading to new technologies in information ...

Two-dimensional ferromagnetic-ferroelectric multiferroics in violation of the d0 rule [PDF]
Contribution of d-electron to ferroelectricity of type-II multiferroics causes strong magneto-electric coupling and distinguishes them from the conventional type-I multiferroics. However, their therein polarization is too small because the ferroelectricity is merely a derivative from the magnetic order.

Multiferroicity, The coupling between magnetic and polarization [PDF]
Multiferroics, defined for those multifunctional materials in which two or more kinds of fundamental ferroicities coexist, have become one of the hottest topics of condensed matter physics and materials science in recent years. The coexistence of several order parameters in multiferroics brings out novel physical phenomena and offers possibilities for ...

Microscopic origin of Magnetic Ferroelectrics in Nonlinear Multiferroics [PDF]
A simple but general microscopic mechanism to understand the interplay between the electric and magnetic degrees of freedom is developed. Within this mechanism, the magnetic structure generates an electric current which induce an counterbalance electric ...

New high Tc multiferroics KBiFe2O5 with narrow band gap and promising photovoltaic effect
Intrinsic polarization of ferroelectrics (FE) helps separate photon-generated charge carriers thus enhances photovoltaic effects. However, traditional FE with transition-metal cations (M) of d0 electron in MO6 network typically has a band gap (Eg ...

Multiferroicity due to charge ordering [PDF]
In this contribution to the special issue on multiferroics we focus on multiferroicity driven by different forms of charge ordering. We will present the generic mechanisms by which charge ordering can induce ferroelectricity in magnetic systems. There is a number of specific classes of materials for which this is relevant.
