Fig. 5: Regulation of multiferroicity by strain.
From: Intrinsic multiferroicity in molybdenum oxytrihalides nanowires

a Strain direction for FE MoOBr3 nanowires. b Alteration of Mo’s displacement with regard to strain (red). Variation of polarization changes with strain (blue). c The energy difference among three AFM states and FM state as functions of strain. d Change of the MAE per Mo atom with regard to strain, in which red dots indicate MAE between ‘c’ and ‘b’ directions and blue dots represent MAE between ‘a’ and ‘b’ directions.
