Magnetoelectric interaction and magnetic field control of electric polarization in multiferroics

Various aspects of magnetic field control of magnetoelectric (ME) and electric properties of multiferroics are considered: linear ME effect appearance at magnetic field-induced incommensurate–commensurate phase transition, polarization switching and reversal by magnetic field and magnetic field-induced polarization flop transition. The correlation between magnetic, electric, and magnetoelastic properties is shown.
