Synergy effect of temperature, electric and magnetic field on the depth structure of the FeRh/BaTiO3 composite multiferroic

In the recent work, a comprehensive study on the depth dependence of the metamagnetic phase transition in FeRh/BaTiO3 heterostructure is reported by means of single or combined external stimulus such as heat, magnetic or electric field. Grazing-incidence nuclear scattering experiments revealed significant discrepancies in the mechanism of the antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic reordering induced by the different effects, with distinguished role of both upper and lower interfaces.
