Abstract

Multiferroics, two or more ferroic orders such as ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism coexist and coupled with each other, is a tremendously fascinating topic in terms of scientific interests as well as potential industrial applications. Investigations of BiFeO3, a prototypical intrinsic multiferroic material, are introduced. The material’s sensitive response to strain, i.e., interaction between ferroelectrics and magnetics, is exemplified. After briefly reviewing first-principles studies on the effect of understructures, multiferroic and magnetoelastic properties in low-dimensional nanostructures are discussed. We also present an extrinsic (defect-induced) multiferroics with atomic-scale structures.
