We are delighted to share with you our latest collection of recently published articles focusing on Ferroelectric and Multiferroic Materials, handpicked by Associate Editor Donna Arnold.
Ferroelectric and multiferroic materials continue to attract extensive attention within the literature due to the potential of these materials to have an increased impact in our everyday lives. Research covers a whole plethora of chemistry and physics from the search for Pb-free ferroelectrics and new energy storage materials to demonstration of real-world device applications based on inorganic and/or organic materials including experimental and computational studies.
The collection features articles focussing on experimental studies of inorganic solid-state ceramics and thin films (including heterostructures and devices). The collection showcases the significance of not only the search for new materials with enhanced properties but also the importance of understanding the structure-property correlations in both powders and films as well as demonstrating their application in environments closer to commercial use. These articles demonstrate the continued growth of these areas as we strive towards next generation devices based on ferroelectric and multiferroic materials.
As the world’s largest gold open access chemistry journal, all publications in RSC Advances are free to access. We hope you enjoy reading these articles.
We invite you to submit your research to this collection and give your work the global visibility it deserves.

Meet the Editor
Donna was awarded her PhD in 2004 from the University of London having studied structure -property correlations in porous manganese oxides. Postdoctoral positions at the Foundation of Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), Crete, University College Cork, Ireland and University of St Andrews, UK followed where she continued to investigate the behaviour in complex materials. In 2010 she took an academic position at the University of Kent.
Her current research interests lie in the area of correlating structure-property relationships in oxide materials with a particular emphasis on magnetic, ferroelectric and multiferroic materials.
