Multiferroic oxide thin films and heterostructures

Abstract: Multiferroic materials promise a tantalizing perspective of novel applications in next-generation electronic, memory, and energy harvesting technologies, and at the same time they also represent a grand scientific challenge on understanding complex solid state systems with strong correlations between multiple degrees of freedom. In this review, we highlight the opportunities and obstacles in growing multiferroic thin films with chemical and structural integrity and integrating them in functional devices. Besid… Show more

“…To avoid these problems, multilevel storage that allows each unit to store multiple bits of information has been proposed. [18][19][20][21][22] Moreover, BFO is particular for its relatively narrow bandgap (<2.8 eV), which supports the PV effect in the visible range. [16,17] Based on the thickness-dependent ferroelectric domain size scaling behaviors, the formation of nanometer scale domains in very thin ferroelectric films can lead to the incomplete inversion of polarization.…”

“…Among all available multiferroic materials, type-II multiferroics of magnetic origin stand out due to the unique one-to-one correspondence between ferroelectric (FE) and magnetic orders [3][4][5][6]. The intimate coupling between the two orders gives rises to giant magnetoelectric (ME) effect, such as polarization (P) switching in multiferroics hosting a spiral spin order (SSO) [7].…”

“…Multiferroics, which refer to the functional materials that possess two or more properties of the ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity and ferroelasticity over a certain range of temperature, are important members of electronic materials family because of their promising applications in advanced electronic devices [3], [4], [5]. Among multiferroics, functional materials possessing electro-magneto-coupling are known as magnetoelectric (ME) materials [6], [7], which have wide and important applications in the fields of microwave devices and sensors for magnetic field detection [3], [4], [5], [8], [9], [10].…”
