New trends in the nanophysics of ferroics, relaxors and multiferroics

Abstract

The review covers the theoretical and experimental results obtained in the recent years by the scientists with the help of comprehensive investigation of nanoferroics and multiferroics. The main attention will be paid to spontaneous flexoeffects and reentrant phase in nanoferroics as well as to a recently discovered giant magnetoelectric effect in multiferroics.
