Abstract:
This paper briefly reviews research of the magnetoelectric materials and multiferroics as domain-structured media. The review is focused on magnetoelectric phenomena in epitaxial iron garnet films (electrically induced displacement and tilting of domain boundaries) as a striking example of magnetoelectricity in micromagnetism. The paper also considers the effect of an electric field on other topological defects in magnetically ordered media, including Bloch lines and Bloch points at domain boundaries, magnetic vortices, and skyrmions.
