One important example of such multi-functionality are multiferroic materials where two or more ferroic properties are intrinsically coupled. They include, among others, the magneto-electric and magneto-structural materials, which are well understood at the nano- and continuum length (and time) scales. The next emerging frontier is to connect these two limiting scales by probing the mesoscale physics of these materials. This book not only attempts to provide this connection but also presents the state-of-the art of the present understanding and potential applications of many related complex multifunctional materials. The main emphasis is on the multiscale bridging of their properties with the aim to discover novel properties and applications in the context of materials by design. This interdisciplinary book serves both graduate students and expert researchers alike. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Materials Science,$x0933-033X ;$v198 606 $aStructural materials 606 $aNanoscale science 606 $aNanoscience 606 $aNanostructures 606 $aNanochemistry 606 $aPhysics 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aStructural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000 606 $aNanoscale Science and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140 606 $aNanochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C33000 606 $aApplied and Technical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31000 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 615 0$aStructural materials. 615 0$aNanoscale science. 615 0$aNanoscience. 615 0$aNanostructures. 615 0$aNanochemistry. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 14$aStructural Materials. 615 24$aNanoscale Science and Technology. 615 24$aNanochemistry. 615 24$aApplied and Technical Physics. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 676 $a620.5 702 $aSaxena$b Avadh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPlanes$b Antoni$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298460803321 996 $aMesoscopic phenomena in multifunctional materials$9104312 997 $aUNINA
