Definition: A ceramic material with a switchable spontaneous polarization via positively and negatively biased electric fields, due to weird behaviors of charge density in noncentrosymmetric dielectric crystals

Examples: Hafnia, PZT, AlScN

Is it possible for something to be both ferroelectric *and* ferromagnetic?

yes something can be both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic, it's a subset of both classes material
