Magnetoelectric coefficient values of above 5 and 2 V cm Oe in 20 nm CoFeO-BaTiO and NiFeO-BaTiO core-shell magnetoelectric nanoparticles were demonstrated. These colossal values, compared to 0.1 V cm Oe commonly reported for the 0-3 system, are attributed to (i) the heterostructural lattice-matched interface between the magnetostrictive core and the piezoelectric shell, confirmed through transmission electron microscopy, and (ii) in situ scanning tunneling microscopy nanoprobe-based ME characterization. The nanoprobe technique allows measurements of the ME effect at a single-nanoparticle level which avoids the charge leakage problem of traditional powder form measurements. The difference in the frequency dependence of the ME value between the two material systems is owed to the Ni-ferrite cores becoming superparamagnetic in the near-dc frequency range. The availability of novel nanostructures with colossal ME values promises to unlock many new applications ranging from energy-efficient information processing to nanomedicine and brain-machine interfaces.

Conventional drug delivery systems often suffer from non-specific distribution and limited therapeutic efficacy, leading to significant side effects. To address these challenges, we developed magnetoelectric, cobalt ferrite@barium titanate (CFO@BTO) nanofibers (NFs), with a core-shell structure for targeted anticancer drug delivery. The electrospinning method was employed to synthesize polymeric NFs based on magnetoelectric core-shell nanostructures.

A template-assisted synthesis approach was employed to tune the structure and properties of CoFeO-BaTiO core-shell magnetoelectric nanowires. By adjusting the composition of the nanowires, we achieved control over the magnetic anisotropy in the CoFeO core phase. This work highlights the potential for enhanced magnetic anisotropy to improve magnetoelectric performance.

The magnetoelectric (ME) effect, which involves the interaction of magnetic and electric fields within a material, has a significant potential for various applications. Our study addresses the limitations of conventional magnetostriction-based ME materials by demonstrating an alternative approach that achieves substantial ME effects in core-shell-type nanocomposites at room temperature. By synthesizing ferrimagnetic FeO nanoparticles onto piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) particles, we identified a distinct ME mechanism.
