“…In contrast, heterogeneous multiphase materials composed of ferromagnetic and ferroelectric phases can induce a piezo-magnetoelectric coupling effect between the electric and magnetic sub-systems at the interface. Up till now, well-designed composites have been developed as an intriguing alternative option for multiferroic materials, [29,51] as exemplified by CoFe 2 O 4 /BiFeO 3 , [52,53] Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 /CoFe 2 O 4 , [54,55] Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 /Fe 0.7 Ga 0.3 , [56] and La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /P(VDF-TrFE), [57] with strong magnetoelectric coupling that are orders of magnitude higher than in single phase. With the increasing demands for further miniaturization of electronic devices, the design and fabrication of nano-structured multiferroic composites is of great importance.…”
