Transition Metal Oxides Superconductivity, Charge-Ordering

Multiferroics constitute an important area of materials research. Multiferroics are materials which are magnetic as well as ferroelectric. In principle, these two properties cannot occur together since one requires the presence of rf-electrons and the other does not. Strategies to attain multiferroic properties in oxides are presented in an article.
