Exchange-biased hybrid ferromagnetic-multiferroic core-shell nanostructures

Nanoscale. 2014 Jul 7;6(13):7215-20. doi: 10.1039/c4nr00393d.

Abstract

Artificial exchange-biased two-phase core-shell nanostructures consisting of ferromagnetic (Ni) and multiferroic (BiFeO3) materials were manufactured by a two-step method. An exchange bias effect was observed and studied, which indicates that it is possible to fabricate ferromagnetic-multiferroic nanostructures to utilize the combined ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic functionalities of bismuth ferrite.
