Received in revised form 21 March 2015 The magnetoelectric effect can be very strong, for instance the change of electric polarization reaches 100 μC/m2 Accepted 23 March 2015 at a constant magnetic field of only 1.5 T in the case of 100 ÷ 10 nm structures which tightly fill the space, Available online 30 March 2015 composing a metamaterial. The effect does not require using exotic compounds. Based on the obtained results Keywords: we suggest a number of recommendations for future experimental design. Metamaterial
