“…The coupling between the electric and magnetic polarizations, i.e., the magnetoelectric effect, imparts great value to such materials for practical applications due to the possibility of controlling the magnetic polarization by an electric field and vice versa [1]. We can find many examples of these materials in the perovskite-type oxides family, i.e., BiFeO 3 , BiMnO 3 , YMnO 3 , YCrO 3 , and YFeO 3 [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Yttrium orthoferrite, YFeO 3 , has a distorted perovskite structure, exhibits a weak ferromagnetic behavior, and shows an antiferromagnetic nature with a high-Ne ´el temperature T N around 640 K [6,7].…”
