Abstract

Self-assembled growth of SrTi0.87Fe0.13O3-δ (STF)/ZnO vertical nanocomposite films by combinatorial pulsed laser deposition is described. The nanocomposite films form vertically aligned columnar epitaxial nanostructures on SrTiO3 substrates, in which the STF shows room-temperature magnetism. The magnetic properties are discussed in terms of strain states, oxygen vacancies, and microstructures. The nanocomposites exhibit magneto-photoluminescent coupling behavior that the near-band-edge emission of ZnO is shifted as a function of magnetic field.
