«The theoretical description presented in the paper may be applicable to
other multiferroics similar to BiFeO3.
Not exact matches
They did this at temperatures ranging from 200 - 300 kelvins (minus 100 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit), relatively balmy compared with
other such
multiferroics that typically work at much lower temperatures.
Utilizes advanced electron microscopy techniques to study nanoscale structure and defects that determine the utility of functional materials, such as superconductors,
multiferroics, and
other energy related systems including thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, and batteries.
One reason
multiferroics are so desirable is that their dual characteristics can be controlled in combination with each
other, providing, for example, electrically controlled magnetism or magnetically controlled electrical properties.
The researchers expect flexible
multiferroics to have applications in energy - efficient, instant - on wearable health monitoring equipment and virtual reality attire, as well as any
other small electronics that could benefit from being bent around an object or body part.
