Mechanisms and origin of multiferroicity
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Multiferroic materials and heterostructures / Matériaux et hétérostructures multiferroïques, Volume 16 (2015) no. 2, pp. 143-152.

Motivated by the potential applications of their intrinsic cross-coupling properties, the interest in multiferroic materials has constantly increased recently, leading to significant experimental and theoretical advances. From the theoretical point of view, recent progresses have allowed one to identify different mechanisms responsible for the appearance of ferroelectric polarization coexisting—and coupled—with magnetic properties. This chapter aims at reviewing the fundamental mechanisms devised so far, mainly in transition-metal oxides, which lie at the origin of multiferroicity.

Du fait des applications potentielles de leur propriétés intrinsèques de couplage croisé, l'intérêt pour les matériaux multiferroïques s'est accru de manière constante ces derniers temps, conduisant à des avancées à la fois expérimentales et théoriques. Du point de vue théorique, de récents progrès ont permis d'identifier différents mécanismes responsables de l'apparition d'une polarisation ferroélectrique coexistant avec – et couplée à – des propriétés magnétiques. Ce chapitre passe en revue les mécanismes fondamentaux proposés jusqu'à maintenant, principalement en ce qui concerne les oxydes de métaux de transition, comme étant à l'origine de la multiferroïcité.
