摘要
Multiferroic bi-layer Fe/BaTiO3 (BTO) thin films were successfully deposited on Pt(200)/MgO(100) substrates using ion beam sputter deposition (1BSD), and the mutiferroic properties were studied at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that BTO films were c-axis oriented and epitaxially grown on platinum coated MgO substrates, and (110) epitaxial Fe films were subsequently grown on (001) BTO films. Fe/BTO bi-layer films showed good ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties at room temperature and the multiferroic coupling was observed, which should be attributed to the hybridization of Fe and Ti occurring at the ferromagnetic-ferroelectric interface.
