Multiferroic materials exhibiting ferromagnetism (FM) and ferroeletricity (FE) at room temperature (RT) are promising for applications. Here, the authors demonstrate by inducing strain in SmMnO3 via introducing vertically aligned nanocomposites that exchange coupling can be modified tuning the system from anti-FM to FM and simultaneously inducing FE at RT.
