Significantly Improved Multiferrioc Properties of BiFeO$_{3}$/Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$Ti$_{0.48}$)O$_{3}$ Bilayer Films by Magnetic Field Annealing

Abstract

We report a novel method of synthesizing multiferroic BiFeO3/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (BFO/PZT) bilayer films based on the use of a high magnetic field. Simultaneously enhanced magnetization and electric polarization were observed at room temperature in the films annealed under an external magnetic field. Compared with the control samples annealed at zero field, the saturated magnetization and double remanent polarization were increased by a factor of 6 at room temperature. These results demonstrate that the strong magnetic annealing method is an alternative way to fabricate high-performance BiFeO3 films.

Effect of High Magnetic Field on the Growth, Magnetic, and Electrical Properties of Nanocrystalline Ni Films with Different Thicknesses and Growth Rates

“…Thus, the texture, grain size and distribution, growth structure and phase transition of the films have been tuned. Meanwhile, the magnetic and electrical properties of the films have been improved by HMFs . At present, weak magnetic fields are mainly applied during the preparation process of Ni films.…”

“…To date, magnetoelectric=multiferroic materials=structures [6][7][8][9] utilizing the magnetoelectric effect [10][11][12][13][14] have been studied for memory and data storage applications. [15][16][17][18] In these applications, when an electric field is applied to magnetoelectric=multiferroic materials=structures, mechanical strain is generated in the materials=structures through the piezoelectric effect.…”
