Phase-field model of multiferroic composites: Domain structures of ferroelectric particles embedded in a ferromagnetic matrix
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ferroelectric domain structures in 1-3 type bulk magnetoelectric composites were studied using the phase-field method. The ferroelectric polarization distributions in triangle, square, circle, and other polygonsshaped rods embedded in a ferromagnetic matrix were obtained. The influences of ferroelectric particle size and symmetry and the surrounding magnetic phase medium on the stability of double vortex structures are discussed.

In the present work we report multiferroic behavior in lead zirconate titanate PZT –cobalt iron oxide CFO composite thin films. It is found that upon annealing, the multilayered structures are intermixed at least partially, and CFO is phase separated into PZT matrix to form a composite film. The phase separation behavior has been characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiling...

Electrical tuning of magnetism is of great fundamental and technical importance for fast, compact and ultra-low power electronic devices. Multiferroics, simultaneously exhibiting ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism, have attracted much interest owing to the capability of controlling magnetism by an electric field through magnetoelectric (ME) coupling. In particular, strong strain-mediated ME in...

Multiferroic composites with ferromagnetic and ferroelectric phases have been studied in recent years for use as sensors of AC and DC magnetic fields. Their operation is based on magneto-electric (ME) coupling between the electric and magnetic subsystems and is mediated by mechanical strain. Such sensors for AC magnetic fields require a bias magnetic field to achieve pT-sensitivity. Novel magne...
