"a very detailed book on multiferroics that will be useful for PhD students and researchers interested in this emerging field of materials science"
Dr. Wilfrid Prellier, Research Director, CNRS, Caen, France
Multiferroics has emerged as one of the hottest topics in solid state physics in this millennium. The coexistence of multiple ferroic/antiferroic properties makes them useful both for fundamental studies and practical applications such as revolutionary new memory technologies and next-generation spintronics devices. This book provides an historical...
