title: Multiferroic magnetoelectric fluorides: why are there so many magnetic ferroelectrics?
abstract: We review work on multiferroic magnetic fluorides with an aim to correct the popular opinion that magnetic ferroelectrics are rare in nature. After a qualitative summary describing the main families of magnetic fluorides that are piezoelectric and probably ferroelectric, we discuss in detail the most popular recent groups, namely the K(3)Fe(5)F(15) and Pb(5)Cr(3)F(19) families.
