Abstract

A material that reveals two or more ferroelectric properties at the same time is called multiferroic materials. The most commonly multiferroic materials shows ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism property within a single phase. Accordingly such materials can possess both spontaneous magnetization and electric polarization and which can be individually controlled through external electric or magnetic fields. The unique coexistence of ferroelectric properties opens up possibilities for innovative applications, including memory devices, sensors, and actuators that are responsive to both electrical and magneticstimuli. Multiferroics gives a valuable foundation for generating cutting edge multifunctional devices, exhibiting their versatility across broad area technological fields. Applications include sensors, transducers, spintronics, terahertz emitters, miniature antennas, energy harvesting, multiple state memory storage, electric field controlled ferromagnetic resonance devices, and nanoscale electronics. Researchers are continually work to discovering new materials exploring the fundamental mechanisms involved, and optimizing their performance for various application. Multiferroic materials has a promising area for innovation and exploration the field of advance technologies this type of materials contributing not only to device development but also enhancing the understanding of the interactions between ferroelectric and magnetic orders. Additionally, magnetoelectric composites is a type of multifunctional material showing strong coupling between magnetic and electric properties for further technological applications. Magnetoelectric (ME) composites are synthesis by combining separate magnetic and electric materials to produce unique functionalities through their interactions. This coupling enables the control of magnetic properties by an electric field and vice versa.
