Complex Phenomena and Phase Transitions in Ferroric Perovskites

该项目的最终目的是确定高性能，多铁性磁电适合用于下一代电子设备。 这些氧化物在极化和磁响应之间表现出强烈的相互作用。 了解控制此类材料对外加磁场和电场的响应的因素对于此类材料的发现，优化以及最终的工业开发至关重要。通过对一些此类材料进行全面的实验和理论研究，该项目将提高工业界开发新的和改进的材料的能力。先进材料的开发是指定的国家研究优先领域。

The ultimate aim of this project is to identify high performance, multiferroic magnetoelectrics suitable for use in the next generation electronic devices. These oxides exhibit a strong interaction between the polarisation and magnetic response. Understanding the factors that control the response of such materials to applied magnetic and electric fields is critical to the discovery, optimization and, ultimately, industrial exploitation of such materials. Through comprehensive experimental and theoretical studies of a number of such materials this project will enhance the ability of industry to develop new and improved materials. Development of advanced materials is a designated National Research Priority area.
