Multiferroics present a dynamic crossover between magnetic and electronic order parameters. Using both the conventional pyroelectric current (PC) and the bias electric field (BE) methods, the authors investigate the electric polarization of multiferroic $M$Mn${}_{7}$O${}_{12}$ ($M$= Ca, Sr, Cd, Pb). While the pyrocurr…

A paradigm in nature is to architect composites with excellent material properties compared to its constituents, which themselves often have contrasting mechanical behavior. Most engineering materials sacrifice strength for toughness, whereas natural materials do not face this tradeoff. However, biology's designs, ada…

Dimensionality is known to play an important role in many compounds for which ultrathin layers can behave very differently from the bulk. This is especially true for the paramagnetic metal LaNiO3, which can become insulating and magnetic when only a few monolayers thick. We show here that an induced antiferromagnetic…
