Description

We review work on multiferroic magnetic fluorides with an aim to correct the popular opinion that magnetic ferroelectrics are rare in nature. After a qualitative summary describing the main families of magnetic fluorides that are piezoelectric and probably ferroelectric, we discuss in detail the most popular recent groups, namely the K3Fe5F15 and Pb5Cr3F19 families. (topical review)
