Magnetoelectric Properties Of (Pb0.60Sr0.40)TiO3-CFO Composite Thin Film Synthesized By Metallo-Organic Decomposition.

(Pb0.60Sr0.40) TiO3-CFO composite thin films were grown on Pt/TiO2/Si substrate by novel metallo-Organic process using spin coating technique. The structural, surface morphology and micro structural properties were confirmed by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscope (AFM) and TEM respectively. The lattice constant of the composite thin film crystallized in the pervoskite and spinel phase was 3.9531 and 8.571 Å. Excellent ferroelectric behavior at 10V was observed, a room temperature magnetic hysteresis shows good results. The saturation magnetization value of the bilayer thin film is lower than that of the pure CFO film which is may be attributed to presence of non ferromagnetic PST layer A high initial behavior of dynamic ME response coefficient for the film was observed. The ME effect of the film strongly depends on the magnetic bias. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
