Despite the fundamental conflict between ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism, innovative routes have been employed towards the design and discovery of truly single phase multiferroic materials, including a group of materials termed "geometrically driven multiferroics", where ferroelectricity results from long-range dipole-dipole interactions and oxygen rotations within a magnetic framework . For example, improper ferroelectricity (Tc ~1250 K) in YMnO3 is driven by polyhedral tilting of the MnO5 block and is compatible with the coexistence of antiferromagnetism (TN ~80 K) , . Even with substantial research on other hexagonal RMnO3 systems (where R = Sc, Y, In, Dy-Lu) , a rare earth manganite that demonstrates both ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism at room temperature is yet to be discovered .
