摘要: Abstract Multiferroic and magnetoelectric materials are considered as major candidates for next-generation information storage technologies due to their simultaneous presence interplay of two or more ferroic orders. In this paper, we briefly review our theoretical progress relating the all-electric spintronics, i.e., spin manipulation via an electric means rather than a magnetic field. Special focus is given interface/surface effect, field control magnetocrystalline anisotropy, Rashba spin–orbit coupling, transport, other generalized modulation magnetism. Our recently developed method, orbital selective external potential also expounded. This method might be powerful tool in finding mechanisms responsible intriguing phenomena occurred multiferroics materials.
