The research for lead-free magnetoelectric (ME) multiferroic composite materials has increased considerably because they are environmentally friendly. For composites with 0-3 connectivity, synthesis with lead-free phase has proven challenging to obtain high values of ME coupling. This work reports the successful synthesis of the KNN/CFO composite (KNNbO/CoFeO) by conventional synthesis process. XRD and SEI showed two well-defined, also presenting good electric polarization values. The ME coefficient was very high, reaching values close to 2850 mV cm·Oe at the electromechanical resonance frequency. The dipolar interaction between the electric charges and magnetic moments of the KNN and CFO phases was responsible for the high value and the behavior of dependence on the applied magnetic field.

The crystal structures and hyperfine magnetic parameters of EuFe(BO) and mixed EuLaFe(BO) were studied over a wide temperature range in order to analyze correlations of the structural and magnetic features and the phase transitions in multiferroic compounds of the rare-earth iron borate family. The chemical compositions of the crystals are reported from X-ray fluorescence analysis. The crystal structures of EuFe(BO) and EuLaFe(BO) were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the temperature range 25-500 K.

Laser ablation was used to successfully fabricate multiferroic bilayer thin films, composed of BaTiO (BTO) and CoFeO (CFO), on highly doped (100) Si substrates. This study investigates the influence of BaTiO layer thickness (50-220 nm) on the films' structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties. The dense, polycrystalline films exhibited a tetragonal BaTiO phase and a cubic spinel CoFeO layer.

Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling refers to the interaction between electric and magnetic orders in materials. Based on ME coupling, the phenomenon that an external magnetic field induces electric polarization and an external electric field induces change in mangetization can be observed and is referred to as the ME effect. Examples of the ME effect include magnetodielectric (MD), magnetoferroelectric (MF), magnetoresistence (MR) and electrically controlled magnetism effects.

The current study investigating the preparation and application of a Multiferroic nano-scale silver zinc ferrite substance (AgZnFeO nanocatalyst) has been established. Multiferroic silver zinc ferrite substance is prepared by co-precipitation technique as hybridized composite. This synethsized nanoparticles was characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) as well as Scanning Electron Miscospopy (SEM).

The formalism of composite and intertwined orders has been remarkably successful in discussing the complex phase diagrams of strongly correlated materials and high-superconductors. Here, we propose that composite orders are also realized in ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials when lattice anisotropy is taken into account. This composite order emerges above the ferroic phase transition, and its type is determined by the easy axis of magnetization or polarization, respectively.
