A multiferroic chain with a linear magnetoelectric coupling induced by electrostatic screening at the ferroelectric/ferromagnet interface [1] is considered. We study theoretically the dynamic ferroelectric and magnetic response to external magnetic and electric fields by utilizing an approach based on coupled Landau-Khalatnikov and finite-temperature Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations. Additionally, we make comparisons with Monte Carlo calculations. It is demonstrated [2] that for material parameters corresponding to BaTiO3/Fe the polarization and the magnetization are controllable by oscillating external magnetic and electric fields, respectively.
