IRG V: Strain-Enabled Multiferroics @ Pennsylvania State University
Research Fields: | Mechanics of Materials | Nanostructures / Nanoparticles |
The theme of IRG5 is to create and investigate the properties of new multiferroics, whose very existence (as multiferroics) is made possible by strain. Traditionally the search for new multiferroics involves identifying unstrained phases that exist within composition space. Adding strain vastly increases the dimensional space available to adjust the properties of multiferroics.
