Abstract
The functionality of a ferroic device is intimately coupled to the configuration of domains, domain boundaries, and the possibility for tailoring them. Exemplified with a ferromagnetic system, we present a novel approach which allows the creation of new, metastable multidomain patterns with tailored wall configurations through a self-assembled geometrical transformation. By preparing a magnetic layer system on a polymeric platform including swelling layer, a repeated self-assembled rolling into a multiwinding tubular structure and unrolling of the functional membrane is obtained. When polarizing the rolled-up 3D structure in a simple homogeneous magnetic field, the imprinted configuration translates into a regularly arranged multidomain configuration once the tubular structure is unwound. The process is linked to the employed magnetic anisotropy with respect to the surface normal, and the geometrical transformation connects the angular with the lateral degrees of freedom. This combination offers unparalleled possibilities for designing new magnetic or other ferroic micropatterns.

Abstract
Since the discovery of Dirac physics in graphene, research in 2D materials has exploded with the aim of finding new materials and harnessing their unique and tunable electronic and optical properties. The follow-on work on 2D dielectrics and semiconductors has led to the emergence and development of hexagonal boron nitride, black phosphorus, and transition metal disulfides. However, the spectrum of good insulating materials is still very narrow. Likewise, 2D materials exhibiting correlated phenomena such as superconductivity, magnetism, and ferroelectricity have yet to be developed or discovered. These properties will significantly enrich the spectrum of functional 2D materials, particularly in the case of high phase-transition temperatures. They will also advance a fascinating fundamental frontier of size and proximity effects on correlated ground states. Here, a broad family of layered metal thio(seleno)phosphate materials that are moderate- to wide-bandgap semiconductors with incipient ionic conductivity and a host of ferroic properties are reviewed. It is argued that this material class has the potential to merge the sought-after properties of complex oxides with electronic functions of 2D and quasi-2D electronic materials, as well as to create new avenues for both applied and fundamental materials research in structural and magnetic correlations.

Abstract
The coupling between magnetization and polarization in a room temperature multiferroic (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 -Pb(Fe,Ta)O3 ) is explored by monitoring the changes in capacitance that occur when a magnetic field is applied in each of three orthogonal directions. Magnetocapacitance effects, consistent with P(2) M(2) coupling, are strongest when fields are applied in the plane of the single crystal sheet investigated.
