Abstract

Enhanced magnetoelectric effects in two-dimensional multiferroics promise greater interests for fundamental understanding and for device applications. To ameliorate properties and multifunctionality of magnetoelectric materials, highly ordered multiferroic thin films ought to be optimally designed with a high surface area and with a minimum contact area between the substrate and the films. Fabrication of hierarchically ordered, hemispherical close-packed free-standing multiferroic thin film structures of CoFe2O4 (CFO)/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT)/La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 (LSMO)/LaNiO3 (LNO) on a Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate using a RF magnetron sputtering technique is reported here. The hemispherical space inside the shell structures, inherited from the spherical polymer, are shown by the cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy. Importantly, the observed enhancement of remanent polarization is elucidated based on the facts, like the generation of a high level of compressive stress, a large thermal expansion coefficient of LSMO, and a minimal lattice mismatch with the PZT thin film.
