We study theoretically the coupled multiferroic dynamics of one-dimensional ferroelectric/ferromagnet chains with different lengths driven by harmonic magnetic and electric fields. We performed Monte-Carlo simulations and calculations based on the coupled finite-temperature Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert and Landau-Khalatnikov equations showing that the magnetization and the polarization of thin hetero-structures can be reversed by external electric and magnetic fields, respectively.
