Large elasto-optic effect and reversible electrochromism in multiferroic BiFeO3

Modern technology such as electronics and photovoltaics requires careful control of optical responses of electronic properties. Here, Sando et al. demonstrate a large variation of optical index and light absorption in multiferroic material BiFeO3thin films, tunable by in-film strain or electric fiel...
