A study of the dielectric and magnetic properties of multiferroic materials using the Monte Carlo method

A study of the dielectric and magnetic properties of multiferroic materials using the Monte Carlo (MC) method is presented. Two different systems are considered: the first, ferroelectric-antiferromagnetic (FE-AFM) recently studied by X. S. Gaoand J. M. Liu and the second antiferroelectric-ferromagne...
