Abstract

Magnetoelectric (ME) (CoFe2O4)0.3-(BaTiO3)0.7 (CFO-BTO) nanostructures have been synthesized by a combinative using of hydrothermal reaction and polymer-assisted deposition. The feather-like nanostructures have an average diameter of 250nm and lengths up to 5μm, with the single-crystal CFO nanopillars embedded in the BTO matrix. The CFO-BTO nanostructures exhibit good magnetic (Ms=21.0emu/g, Mr=10.4emu/g and Hc=560.7Oe) and ferroelectric properties (Ps=10.5μC/cm2, Pr=5.6μC/cm2), as well as a large ME coefficient of 51.8mV/cmOe. A prominent phonon abnormality has also been detected between 110°C and 140°C. With emphasis on the novel microstructure, the ME response and phonon abnormality of the CFO-BTO nanostructures have been discussed.
