Summary and Conclusions • Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) inY-type hexaferrite single crystal Ba0.6Sr1.4Zn2Fe12O22 was observed. • Using electric field modulation FMR (EFMR) technique magnetoelectric coupling was observed in this compound. • Magnetoelectric coupling was estimated, however it is week at room temperature. • Magnetoelectric coupling was determined quantitatively as a function of temperature and magnetic field orientation. • The next step would be to study this compound at lower temperatures and appropriate magnetic field range where electric polarization was observed by using Soft X-ray Scattering method.
