Multiferroic materials, with their combined and coupled magnetism and ferroelectricity, provide a playground for studying new physics and chemistry as well as a platform for the development of novel devices and technologies. Based on my July 2017 Royal Society Inaugural Lecture, I review recent progress and propose future directions in the fundamentals and applications of multiferroics, with a focus on initially unanticipated developments outside of the core activity of electric-field control of magnetism.
多铁性材料兼具磁性和铁电性,为研究新的物理和化学现象提供了一个场所,同时也为新型器件和技术的开发提供了一个平台。基于我2017年7月在英国皇家学会的就职演讲,我回顾了多铁性材料在基础研究和应用方面的最新进展,并提出了未来的发展方向,重点关注磁电控制核心活动之外最初未被预料到的发展。
