Description
Interfacing materials results a wealth of emergent physical properties that can be exploited for new functionalities of the coupled sample. This contribution will concentrate on the interfaces of two ferroic materials such as ferroelectric/ferromagnetic/or ferroelastic compounds. Thereby, the ferroic order itself can be an emergent one due to interfacial proximity effects. After a discussion of the underlying physics, emphasis is put on prospect applications of such composite systems in (opto)electronics as well as in energy saving and conversion devices, such as four-point and non-volatile memories, electrically-driven ultrafast magnetism, thermal diodes, and multiferroic nanoscale heat engines.
