Multiferroic properties of Pb„Zr,Ti...O3/CoFe2O4 composite thin films

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...
متن کاملSol–gel derived Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films: Residual stress and electrical properties
Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 compositions are under investigation for applications that include integrated capacitors, piezoelectric sensors, and actuators. Sol–gel synthesis and spin coating are popular routes to the formation of high quality, dense, crack free, insulating films. However, the electrical properties of the films are often different than those measured for bulk specimens of the same composition. ...
