Room-temperature surface multiferroicity in Y${}_2$NiMnO${}_6$ nanorods

Shubhankar Mishra, Amritendu Roy, Aditi Sahoo +5

We report observation of surface-defect-induced room temperature multiferroicity - surface ferromagnetism ($M_S$ at 50 kOe $\sim$0.005 emu/g), ferroelectricity ($P_R$ $\sim$2 nC/cm…
