Converse Magnetoelectric Experiments on a Room Temperature Spirally   Ordered Hexaferrite
  Experiments have been performed to measure magnetoelectric properties of room temperature spirally ordered Sr3Co2Fe24O41 hexaferrite slabs. The measured properties include the magnetic permeability, the magnetization and the strain all as a function of the electric field E and the magnetic intensity H. The material hexaferrite Sr3Co2Fe24O41 exhibits broken symmetries for both time reversal and parity. The product of the two symmetries remains unbroken. This is the central feature of these magnetoelectric materials. A simple physical model is proposed to explain the magnetoelectric effect in these materials.
