Multiferroic materials can show a variety of exquisite effects due to hosting coexisting and complex magnetic and electric orders. Recently it was reported that a ferroelectric domain pattern from one layer is transfered to a ferromagnetic layer in a multiferroic heterostructure[1]. Here we show that we can reversibly interconvert magnetic and ferroelectric domain patterns in a single phase of multiferroic bulk system Dy0.7Tb0.3FeO3. In this material, it was shown that a ferroelectric polarization is induced as a result of interaction of two magnetic sublattices of iron Fe3+ and rare-earth (Dy,Tb) R3+ via exchange forces. The strong coupling of these three order parameters creates a variety of composite domains and domain walls. Using magnetooptic imaging, we show that electric field pulses of specific speeds and amplitudes can generate and tune those domains/domain walls. Ultimately, by imprinting a domain pattern in the rare-earth’s antiferromagnetic order, we transfer it from the ferromagnetic order of iron to the ferroelectric order and vice versa using magnetic and electric fields, respectively.
