Enhanced Magnetoelectricity and Large Phonon Abnormality of Feather-Like CoFe2O4-BaTiO3 Nanostructures

Article Preview

Abstract:

By cost-effective techniques of hydrothermal reaction and polymer-assisted deposition, Feather-like (CoFe2O4)0.3-(BaTiO3)0.7 (CFO-BTO) nanostructures have been synthesized. The nanostructures show an average diameter of 250 nm and lengths up to 5 μm, with CFO nanopillars embedded in BTO matrix. The three-dimensional microstructure and growth mechanism of the nanostructures have been investigated. A large magnetoelectric (ME) response at room-temperature and a strong phonon abnormality between 110 °C and 140 °C have been studied.
