Multiferroics magnetoelectric properties

We are also interested in magnetoelectrics which form an important subgroup of multiferroics. Magnetoelectrics exhibit, simultaneously, ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties, the combination of which is expected to revolutionize computers. A memory element combining both properties would permit an electric write operation combined with a magnetic read, eliminating the need... 

If we can combine ferroelectrically polarizable guest molecules with PCPMs, then we can obtain new types of multiferroic materials, where ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism coexist. Such multifunctional materials have recently aroused increasing interest from the viewpoint of the development of new materials with very large magnetoelectric effects. [Mn3(HCOO)6] EtOH is considered to be the first ferroelectric PCP.182 Because the desolvated compound [Mn3(HCOO)6] shows a very small and almost temperature-independent dielectric constant, irrespective of the direction of the electric field,183 the observed ferroelectric property is considered to come mainly from the guest EtOH molecules.
