Abstract

Multiferroic nanostructures have attracted lots of attention by researchers due to their unique benefits compared with bulk multiferroics. The interface between the piezoelectric phase and the ferromagnetic phase is well established and leads to a high magnetoelectric coupling effect by reducing the coupling loss. The advances in thin film growth techniques and theoretical simulations provide solid support to multiferroic nanostructures. We discuss major achievements in thin film nanostructure multiferroics by spin spray, sputtering deposition methods in this chapter.
