Giant linear magnetoelectric effect in garnet ferrite films
Krichevtsov B. B. , Pavlov V. V. , Pisarev R. V.
A large linear magnetoelectric effect in the electric field, which is forbidden in the case of the garnet structure, has been observed. The linearity of this effect suggests that the film structure does not have an inversion center and its large value indicates that the electric field has a strong effect on the magnetic anisotropy, i.e., on the orientation of the magnetization.
