Magnetoelectric coupling in ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures: A survey and perspective

The material realization with significant coupling between magnetic and electric order named “magnetoelectric effect” would be a major turning point for the modern electronic industry and information technology. This paper emphasises progress on magnetoelectric coupling, focusing on the impact of charge and strain in composite heterostructures in bulk and thin-film forms. Furthermore, the direct and converse magnetoelectric effect on improving the “magnetoelectric coefficient-a measure of coupling” has been discussed. Eventually, a brief overview of multiferroic magnetoelectric materials-based devices and their future perspectives is presented.
