Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Applied Science & Technology
We report on the combination of piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), magnetic force microscopy, and local ferroelectric switching with magnetic field for the study of a thin-film magnetoelectric (ME) nanocomposite. The collection of PFM under an applied variable magnetic field within a polycrystalline perovskite-spinel BiFeO3-CoFe2O4 (BFO-CFO) 0-3 type thin-film nanocomposite enables quantitative and proximal measurement of magnetoelastic strain-driven ME response. Combination of measurement of the as-grown strain state with local measurements of microstructure and macroscopic magnetization permits local mapping of ME coupling. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
