چکیده
The symmetry properties, order parameters, and magnetoelectric phase diagrams of multiferroics are discussed. After brief reviews of Ni3V2O8, TbMnO3, and RbFe(MoO4)2, we present a detailed analysis of RMn2O5 (with R=Y, Ho, Dy, Er, Tb, Tm). PACS numbers: 75.25.+z,75.10.Jm,75.40.Gb Submitted to: J.

Multiferroics and magnetoelectrics: thin films and nanostructures
Multiferroic materials, or materials that simultaneously possess two or more ferroic order parameters, have returned to the forefront of materials research. Driven by the desire to achieve new functionalities—such as electrical control of ferromagnetism at room temperature—researchers have undertaken a concerted effort to identify and understand the complexities of multiferroic materials. The a...
متن کاملMagnetic structures and dynamics of multiferroic systems obtained with neutron scattering
Multiferroics are materials that evince both ferroelectric and magnetic order parameters. These order parameters when coupled can lead to both exciting new physics as well as new device applications. Potential device applications include memory, magnetic field sensors, small antennas and so on. Since Kimura’s discovery of multiferroicity in TbMnO3, there has been a renaissance in the study of t...
متن کاملAn effective model of magnetoelectricity in multiferroics RMn2O5
An effective model is developed to explain the phase diagram and the mechanism of magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroics, RMn2O5. We show that the nature of magnetoelectric coupling in RMn2O5 is a coupling between two Ising-type orders, namely, the ferroelectric order in the b-axis, and the.coupled magnetic order between two frustrated antiferromagnetic chains. The frustrated magnetic struct...
متن کاملMagnetic switching of ferroelectric domains at room temperature in multiferroic PZTFT
Single-phase magnetoelectric multiferroics are ferroelectric materials that display some form of magnetism. In addition, magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters are not independent of one another. Thus, the application of either an electric or magnetic field simultaneously alters both the electrical dipole configuration and the magnetic state of the material. The technological possibilities...
