Multiferroic materials simultaneously possess at least two types of ferroic properties and the order parameters are usually coupled to each other, which leads to additional functionalities that make them unique and appealing. However, the transition temperatures of most single-phase multiferroic materials are well below room temperature, which limits their potential applications. [ 1 ] So far, BiFeO 3 (BFO) is the only material with both ferroelectric and magnetic orders coexisting at room temperature. [ 2 , 3 ] Furthermore, the intimate coupling between ferroelectric polarization and antiferromagnetic spins has been confi rmed in both thin fi lm and single crystal samples, which makes electric control of magnetism possible. [ 4–7 ] Since BFO is antiferromagnetic in nature (even though canting of Fe 3 + magnetic moments leads to a small magnetization), [ 3 ] a ferromagnetic material with detectable magnetic moment must be introduced for application purposes. Considerable research has focused on the exchange coupling between BFO and a thin ferromagnetic layer. Exchange bias has been observed in different BFO-based heterostructures. [ 8–10 ] Both ferroelectric domain size and the type of domain walls in BFO affect the exchange bias strongly. [ 11 , 12 ] Furthermore, electrical manipulation of local magnetization has been demonstrated in both thin fi lm and single
