Abstract

Single phase polycrystalline thin films (similar to 100nm) of BaZr0.05(FexTi1-3x/4)(0.95)O-3, with x = 0 (BZT) and 0.015 (BZFT15), were grown on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrate using pulsed laser deposition technique. Room temperature ferromagnetism with a remanent magnetization (M-r)similar to 1.1 x 10(-1) emu/cm(3) and a coercive field (H-c) similar to 0.1 kOe was observed in BZFT15 film. The ferroelectric domain switching in both BZT and BZFT15 films is confirmed by piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). The magnetoelectric coupling coefficient (alpha) measured at room temperature in the BZFT15 film in in-plane magnetized-out of plane polarized configuration (L-T mode) was found to be similar to 165mV/cm Oe. It is argued that the observed ferromagnetism in BZFT15 films arises from the oxygen vacancy (O-v) mediated (Fe3+-O-v-Fe3+) exchange.
