Research of competitive effect with magnetism and electricity
We can usually control magnetism by magnetic field and dielectrical behavior by electric field. Now, we try to be able to “control magnetism by electric field” or “control dielectrical behavior by magntic field”. This effect is known as “magnetoelectric effect”. At low temperature, this effect has already realized with TbMnO3，however it is too small to use as application. In order to use device, we design materials to realize (1) performing at room temperature and (2) large response of magnetoelectric effect. Moreover, we study the origin of magnetoelectric effect and make a search of new mechanism.
