Investigations of structural, optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of rare-earth orthoferrites

Abstract

Today’s Modern society demands high-performance and multitasking micro-electronic devices which can store and share information in easier and faster ways[1, 2]. This motivates and inspires scientists and industries searching for new, advanced, energy efficient and convenient ways to read, write, store, and sharing of information. One of the major problems of these highly efficient multi-functional devices is the requirement of high power consumption and the increasing need for reducing power consumption in computing and data storage[3, 4]. Thus, an important goal of today’s research for our society is the minimization of this energy consumption for the use of multitasking devices. These challenges are intimately related to advances in materials research and technology. All the new product-innovation is based on materials with new and improved properties. Therefore, one approach of the material research community is the engineering of new materials with preferably strongly coupled multi-functional properties with low power consumption for reading, writing and data sharing processes.
