Origin of large polarization in multiferroic YMnO3 thin films
Multiferroic materials have attracted much interest because of their ability to control magnetism through the application of a voltage. This ability can be utilized to reduce the power required by electronic devices and to increase their speed. However, the number of multiferroic materials discovered has been small, and ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity in the already discovered materials are often weaker than the required values for using them as ferromagnets and ferroelectrics. Hence, novel multiferroic materials are being extensively sought....
