| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In a multiferroic orthoferrite Dy0.7Tb0.3FeO3, which shows electric-field-(E-)driven magnetization (M) reversal, magnetic-field (H) biasing on ferroelectric hysteresis loops is observed. The magnitude of the bias E field can be controlled by varying the magnitude of H, and its sign can be reversed by changing the sign of H. In addition, we have succeeded in growing single crystals of ferroelectric-ferromagnetic h-Lu0.5Sc0.5FeO3 and room-temperature helical magnet Ba2Co2Fe11AlO22 by means of floating zone method, whose magnetization is potentially controlled by E. We could evaluate physical properties of these syngle crystals. In particular, the magnetic structure of h-Lu0.5Sc0.5FeO3 has successfully been determined by neutron diffraction measurements.
