这篇文章提供了多铁材料的个人导览，从它们早期作为一种理论好奇心，到它们今天作为全球研究活动的焦点准备影响技术的地位。文章从历史开始，并回答了为什么存在这么少的磁性铁电多铁性的问题，然后给出了支持这种多铁性的机制和材料的调查。在讨论了利用电场对磁性进行磁电控制方面取得的巨大进展之后，概述了多铁质在高能物理和宇宙学中的一些不寻常的应用。最后，提出了最有趣的开放性问题和未来的研究方向。
This article provides a personal guided tour of multiferroic materials, from their early days as a theoretical curiosity, to their position today as a focus of worldwide research activity poised to impact technology. The article begins with the history of, and the answer to, the question of why so few magnetic ferroelectric multiferroics exist, then gives a survey of the mechanisms and materials that support such multiferroicity. After discussing the tremendous progress that has been made in the magnetoelectric control of magnetic properties using an electric field, some unusual applications of multiferroics in high-energy physics and cosmology are outlined. Finally, the most interesting open questions and future research directions are addressed.
