چکیده

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 of the constituent elements in conjunction with dielectric spectroscopy measurements. The composite films exhibited ferroelectric as well as ferromagnetic characteristics at room temperature. The coupling between the ferroelectric and the ferromagnetic order parameters has been demonstrated through the reduction of ferroelectric polarization when measured under an applied magnetic field. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.

Multiferroic CoFe2O4-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 Nanostructures

Multiferroic CoFe2O4-Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 lms were prepared on TiO2-terminated (001) Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The lms were epitaxial and exhibited a large in-plane magnetic anisotropy and good ferroelectric properties. A decrease in the magnetization around the ferroelectric Curie temperature indicated magnetoelectric coupling between the magnetostrictive and th...
