Materials for a Sustainable Microelectronics Future: Electric Field Control of Magnetism with Multiferroics

Abstract

This article is written on behalf of many colleagues, collaborators, and researchers in the feld of complex oxides as well as current
and former students and postdocs who continue to enable and undertake cutting-edge research in the feld of multiferroics, magnetoelectrics,
and the pursuit of electric-feld control of magnetism. What I present is
something that is extremely exciting from both a fundamental science
and applications perspective and has the potential to revolutionize our
world, particularly from a sustainability perspective. To realize this potential will require numerous new innovations, both in the fundamental science arena as well as translating these scientifc discoveries into real
applications. Thus, this article will attempt to bridge the gap between
fundamental materials physics and the actual manifestations of the physical concepts into real-life applications. I hope this article will help spur
more translational research within the broad materials community.
