Abstract
Nanocomposite multiferroic BaTiO 3-CoFe 2O 4 thin films have been grown by a chemical solution deposition technique, named polymer-assisted deposition. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, magnetic force microscopy and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy have been used to characterize the composite films. The self-assembled nanocomposite is revealed to be CoFe 2O 4 nano-particles embedded into the BaTiO 3 matrix. This is different with the BaTiO 3-NiFe 2O 4 system grown by PAD, in which the spinel NiFe 2O 4 is the matrix. The difference in the surface energy of the three materials is believed to be the key reason to explain the phenomenon.
