Stacked 2D materials reveal room-temperature multiferroicity and voltage-controlled magnetism

Multiferroics are materials that simultaneously exhibit two or more ferroic orders-stable arrangements of physical properties that can be switched using an external stimulus. These materials could be highly advantageous for the development of various technologies, including non-volatile, low-power memory devices, spintronic devices, miniaturized electronics, neuromorphic hardware, sensors and magnetoelectric devices.
