Magnetic, Ferroelectric, and Multiferroic Metal Oxides

Magnetic, Ferroelectric, and Multiferroic Metal Oxides covers the fundamental and theoretical aspects of ferroics and magnetoelectrics, their properties and important technological applications. Ferroelectric materials are used to make capacitors with high dielectric constant, transducers and actuators. Their hysteresis properties which result in two stable state of opposite polarization also make them ideal for memory applications. Similarly, ferromagnetic materials are used in many industrial applications, such as sensors, read heads, and memories based on giant magnetoresistive effects. A novel class of multifunctional materials, known as magnetoelectric and multiferroics possess simultaneously ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. These materials allow the design of novel devices such as actuators, transducers and storage devices, novel memory media. Considering the wide range of readers interested in the field of ferroics and multiferroics and their vital materials, the Magnetic, Ferroelectric, and Multiferroic Metal Oxides serves as the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the subject. Organized in four Parts, Dr. Biljana Stojanovic leads expert contributors in providing the context to understand the material (Part I: Introduction), the theoretical and practical aspects of ferroelectrics (Part II: Ferroelectrics: From Theory, Structure and Preparation to Application), magnetic metal oxides (Part III: Magnetic Oxides: Ferromagnetics, Antiferromagnetics and Ferrimagnetics), multiferroics (Part IV: Multiferroic Metal Oxides) and future directions in research and application (Part V: Future of Metal Oxide Ferroics and Multiferroics).
