Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Ferroelectromagnets (FEM) are one example of a multiferroic system with the potential for combining a number of interesting functionalities in a single material. It has recently been demonstrated that the ferroelectric (FE) and antiferromagnetic (AF) order parameters are fundamentally coupled in FEM materials so that the AF domain structure can be controlled via the ferroelectric state. Antiferromagnets, and particularly their exchange interaction with ferromagnets (FMs), are an important but still poorly understood aspect of device materials research; a more complete understanding is hampered by the very limited direct information available on the domain structure and surface state of the AF exchange bias layer. In this feasibility study proposal we will conduct a systematic study of the deposition of the deposition of epitaxial FEM materials and perform a preliminary investigation of the exchange bias in FM/FEM systems.
