The key physical property of multiferroic materials is the existence of a coupling between magnetism and polarization. The origin and manifestations of magnetoelectricity can be very different in the available multiferroic systems, with multiple possible mechanisms hidden behind the phenomena. In a new review, researchers have described the fundamental physics that causes magnetoelectricity from a theoretical viewpoint.
