Exchange-coupled hard/soft ferrite nanoparticles are prospective to squeeze out a part of expensive magnets based on rare-earth elements. However, the known exchange-coupled composite ferrite nanoparticles often suffer from the lack of a powerful enough hard magnetic core, high defectivity of magnetic phases, and a poor interface between them. Herein, we demonstrate the first efficient synthesis of sandwiched nanomagnets, which exhibit a pronounced exchange-coupling effect. This work is featured by the use of individual highly coercive strontium hexaferrite nanoplates prepared by a borate glass crystallization method as cores for the composite particles. The high crystal quality of the hexaferrite cores as the substrate promotes the epitaxial growth of CoFe2O4 layers on the 001 facets from an organic high-boiling solvent and results in the enhancement of the remanent magnetization and maximum energy product of the composite material. The results of this work open new prospects for the fabrication of multilayer oxide heterostructures with synergetic performance, which expands the applications of exchange-coupled composites.
