It is now becoming increasingly clear that ferromagnetism, and thus spin polarization, can be controlled and manipulated through a coupling of a magnetic layer to a ferroelectric or a multiferroic.

“It can exhibit the polarization reversal in its pure state. That’s the real appeal.” The ferroelectric layer, also known as the switching layer, can be placed on the top, bottom, or ...

"Despite being metallic, due to the chemistry and structure of these systems, different layer stackings can have built-in electric polarization, i.e., interlayer electric field and charge imbalance.

One property, spin polarization, is fundamental to the material's half-metallic properties. Spin polarization ratio is a physical property that indicates how polarized the number of electrons with ...
