Ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials have attracted significant attention and exhibited potential in many applications such as storage memories, solid-state light sources and a range of smart chemical and biological sensors. This proposal seeks to investigate the behaviour of these materials in layered form, where an imposed mechanical traction induces novel combinations of ferroelectric and magnetic properties. The fundamental understanding of the behaviour of these materials will help us develop new material systems with exciting possibilities in the design of advanced devices and sensors.
