Multiferroics wherein the magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters coexist with their large cross-coupling effects have promising application potentials for multifunctional devices. To realize various technical exploitations, not only the capability of switching ferroelectricity with low magnetic field but also the tunability of the critical magnetic field ($B_{c})$ for the switching is essential. Herein, we report our discovery of a novel chemical route to engineer $B_{c}$ in a low field regime in the multiferroic hexaferrite system and discuss its mechanism.
