Oriented barium ferrite (BaM) and polycrystalline ferroelectric barium strontium titanate (BSTO) layered structures have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition. The 0.5 mu m thick BaM layer has a saturation induction of 4 kG, a uniaxial effective anisotropy field of 16 kOe, and a relatively low ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of about 25 Oe, values that are indicative of a high quality film. The dielectric constant of the 0.9 mu m thick BSTO layer drops by a factor of 2 for an applied voltage of 3 V. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
