Abstract
- We investigate the anisotropic stress dependent magnetic and phonon behaviors in self-assembled CoFe<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>-PbTiO<subscript>3</subscript> (CFO-PTO) nanostructures deposited on SrRuO<subscript>3</subscript> buffered SrTiO<subscript>3</subscript> substrates of various thickness. The increased vertical compressed stress with increasing thickness enhances the vertical magnetic anisotropy of CFO while gradually reducing the vertical polarization of PTO. By applying the magnetic-field dependent Raman scattering, the CFO-A<subscript>1g</subscript> and T<subscript>2g</subscript>(1) phonon frequencies shift oppositely because of the magnetostriction. Moreover, the PTO-A<subscript>1</subscript> mode intensities anomalously enhance and the A<subscript>1</subscript> and E mode frequencies, respectively, increase and decrease, which prove the existence of the stress-mediated magnetoelectric (ME) effect. This study shows that the ME transmission process is dominated by interfacial stress, which is critical for enhancing the ME efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
