25. [10c] 1) The distortion at the ferroelectric domain wall as a result of to the reversal of the electric dipoles produces an elastic strain; 2) the gradual rotations of the magnetic moments across an antiferromagnetic wall result in a non-zero local magnetic moment. So, the electric and magnetic perturbations can interact through the piezomagnetic effect. (Piezomagnetism describes a change in strain as a linear function of an applied magnetic field, or a change in magnetization as a linear function of applied stress.)
