Two-dimensional multiferroics

Abstract

Due to unprecedented application prospects such as high-density and low-power multistate storage, spintronics and nanoelectronics, two-dimensional (2D) multiferroics, coupled with at least two ferroic orders, have gotten a lot of interest in recent years. Multiple functions can be achieved in 2D multiferroics via coupling phenomena such as magnetoelectricity, piezoelectricity, and magnetoelasticity, which offers technical support for the creation of multifunctional devices. The research progress of 2D ferromagnetic–ferroelectric multiferroic materials, ferroelectric–ferroelastic multiferroic materials, and ferromagnetic–ferroelastic materials in recent years is reviewed in this paper. The categorization of 2D multiferroics is explored in terms of the multiple sources of ferroelectricity. The top-down approaches and the bottom-up methods used to fabricate 2D multiferroics materials are introduced. Finally, the authors outline potential research prospects and application scenarios for 2D multiferroic materials.
