In Y-type hexaferrites, magnetic interactions result in a complex phase diagram with non-collinear magnetic phases. The magnetoelectric (ME) properties are mainly dominated by a multiferroic FE3 phase [1,2]. The FE3 phase has been observed both as a metastable and stable phase close to room temperatures [3,4,5] and offers an ideal candidate to study the stability of ME phases and ME states. Here we explore the direct and converse ME effects in Y-type hexaferrites with different Sr doping levels. We demonstrate the isothermal switching between ME states, and discuss these new results as a possible way to measure the stability of the ME state in multiferroic materials. [1] T. Kimura, Ann. Rev.
