Abstract

This review article summarizes the development of different kinds of materials that evolved interest in all field of science particularly on new nano-materials which possess both electric and magnetic properties at the nanoscale. Materials of such kind possessing both magnetic and electric properties have tremendous applications and own an intensive research activity. These materials induce new properties which are particularly important in electronic and magnetic devices and even in the materials where magnetic property will change by electric field or vice versa. The discovery of such ferroic properties for scientific applications is the need of hour and spreads an exciting new area that has technical and commercial potential for the discovery of advanced materials. In recent studies, the actual path by which the multiferroic properties exist has been focused and new metal oxide compounds were discovered. The understanding of the structure of these compounds through research describes a wide range of applications and the challenges of these multiferroic materials that need to be explored. In this study, fundamental aspects and structural variations of ternary transition metal oxides have been covered which possess novel properties in storage devices such as hard disk platters and magnetic read heads.

Summary

Introduction

Magnetic properties of objects at nanoscale range have been given the name of concept nanomagnetism with a prone area of research in all scientific fields. This area of research has been enlarged significantly due to the advent of a novel class of oxides exhibiting interesting multiferroic and magnetoelectric properties arising from magnetically induced ferroelectricity These materials are simple transition metal oxides, most of them possessing the perovskite structure. Ternary Metal Oxide Nano-Material Applications The application of multiferroic materials is expected from the data values of polarization and magnetization with the existence of magnetoelectric coupling This could be the main reason that these interesting materials have to be considered in today’s research of solid state physics and chemistry and may utilize in electronic memory and optical transducer devices [85–87]. It is essential to fabricate and to develop such multiferroic nanomaterials which have high sensitivity and efficiency and have a bulk of applications in all segments of machines
