Dynamical systems study in single-phase multiferroic materials

Abstract

Electric field induced magnetization switching in single-phase multiferroic materials is intriguing for both fundamental studies and potential technological applications. Here we develop a framework to study the switching dynamics of coupled polarization and magnetization in such multiferroic materials. With the coupling term between the polarization and magnetization as an invariant dictated by the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya vector, the dynamical systems study reveals switching failures and oscillatory mode of magnetization if the polarization and magnetization relax slowly during switching.
