Abstract

Using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, the coupling interaction of the ferroelectric (FE) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases in epitaxial 1-3-type multiferroic thin films was investigated considering the effect of elastic stress arising from the FE/FM and film/substrate interfaces. The result of the authors shows that the maximum polarization and magnetization appear with the FM fractions of 70% and 30%, respectively. The significant changes of the FE and FM properties are caused by the special structure in which the induced misfit strain greatly affects the anisotropy of the crystals and the properties of the materials.
