Multiferroic materials and magnetoelectric physics: symmetry, entanglement, excitation, and topology (2015, background): “In 2000, in a seminal paper entitled “Why are there so few magnetic ferroelectrics?”, Hill (Spaldin) clarified the intrinsic challenges for accommodating magnetism and ferroelectricity in single phase perovskite oxides [8], shedding a pessimistic prediction of this quiet discipline.”
Synthesis, characterization, and morphological control of ZnTiO3 nanoparticles through sol-gel processes and its photocatalyst application (2016, background): “Indeed, perovskite-phase mixed-metal oxides are significant for their advantageous piezoelectric, dielectronic, electrostrictive, pyroelectric, and electro-optic properties with corresponding applications in the electronics industry for transducers, actuators, and high-kdielectrics [12,13].”
Reversible electric control of exchange bias in a multiferroic field-effect device. (2010, background): “In addition, there are only a small number of materials that can exhibit this form of direct coupling, because of a large number of material constraints, some of which are mutually exclusiv”
Spin insulatronics (2020, background): “appealing for applications, especially when they are ferromagnetic and ferroelectric [98].”
