摘要: BiFeO3 is perhaps the only material that both magnetic and a strong ferroelectric at room temperature. As result, it has had an impact on field of multiferroics comparable to yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) superconductors, with hundreds publications devoted in past few years. In this Review, we try summarize basic physics unresolved aspects (which are still being discovered several new phase transitions reported months) device applications, which center spintronics memory devices can be addressed electrically magnetically.
