A novel perovskite oxide chemically designed to show multiferroic phase boundary with room-temperature magnetoelectricity

Abstract

Structural change at multiferroic phase boundary is anticipated to have an associated large magnetoelectric response, which yet awaits to be evidenced. Here, Fernández-Posada et al. report electric field-induced phase change for a BiFeO3–BiMnO3–PbTiO3solid solution with distinctive magnetic signature.
