Structural transformation and charge transfer induced ferroelectricity and magnetism in annealed YMnO3

Multiferroic materials such as YMnO3, which uniquely exhibit ferroelectricity and magnetism simultaneously, have been extensively studied for spintronic device applications. However, the origin of multiferroicity remains poorly understood. In this study, the structural phases of YMnO3 ceramics and t...
