摘要
BiFeO3-CoFe2O4 composite thin films were formed on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by chemical solution deposition from a mixed precursor solution. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses confirmed that CoFe2O4 nanoparticles less than 10 nm were uniformly distributed in the BiFeO3 matrix. The BiFeO3-CoFe2O4 composite films exhibited the same ferroelectric switching charge as BiFeO3 thin films, although a larger applied electric field was necessary. However, the magnetic properties were significantly improved by incorporation of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles into BiFeO3; a saturated magnetization of 80 emu/cm(3) and a magnetic coercive field of 450 Oe were attained at 300 K. Furthermore, the composite films did not show superparamagnetic behavior in zero-field-cooling and field-cooling measurements, which suggest that the thermal fluctuation of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was suppressed by exchange coupling with BiFeO3.
