Abstract

The study of magnetic materials applied for the processing and storage of information has increased in recent decades. One the milestone that arises in developing for a unique material with these two features. In this sense, has intensified research in multiferroic materials that combine both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties, and as a consequence, exhibit magnetoelectric effect. The challenge is trying to understand the fundamental properties that take this effect both in single-phase materials such as composites. This project direct doctorate aims to study and single-phase multiferroic composites to understand the mechanisms of coupling between ferroelectric and ferromagnetic phases. In the case of composite materials such coupling is extrinsic, ie., the strain of the ferromagnetic phase induces a mechanical strain in the ferroelectric phase . In single-phase materials the coupling occurs via the charge ordering due to magnetization of the spin network. Thus, a comparative study of this two classes of materials may open an interesting way to understand the mechanisms involved in these phenomena different materials perspective. (AU)
