A theoretical study of the multiferroic dynamics in a composite one-dimensional system consisting of unstrained BaTiO3 multiferroically coupled to an iron chain is presented. The method [1] is based on the thermodynamical treatment of the magnetization and the polarization quantitatively described via the Landau-Lifshits-Gilbert and the Landau-Khalatnikov equations (both at T=0 K) coupled via an additional term in the total free energy. The coupling originates from the screening charge induced in the ferromagnet by the ferroelectric polarization in a very narrow interfacial layer. For real parameters corresponding to the rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3 and for bcc iron and for a wide range of strengths of this coupling we predict the possibility of obtaining a well-developed hysteresis in the ferromagnetic part of the system induced by an external electric field. We also inspect the dependence of the reversal modes on the electric field frequency and predict a considerable stability of the magnetization reversal for frequencies in the range of 0.5÷12[GHz].
