Local magnetoelectric effect in Fe3O4-BaTiO3 nanocomposites

Abstract
Abstract Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) are emerging as potential nanomaterials for a wide range of biomedical applications. Recently, many studies have been devoted to investigating the properties of MENPs based on cobalt ferrite. The outstanding magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, such as higher values of coercive force and magnetostriction coefficient compared to other metal ferrites of spinel structures are well known. However, the biocompatibility and toxicity of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles are still a matter of debate and not fully studied. Therefore, design of MENPs with magnetic core having low toxicity is still a challenging task. Thus, we proposed to use iron oxide nanoparticles (FO) instead of cobalt ferrite as a less toxic alternative. This work represents a comprehensive study of the structural, crystalline, magnetic, and magnetoelectric (ME) properties of synthesized MENPs based on FO and barium titanate (BTO), where FO and BTO provide magnetostrictive and piezoelectric functionalities, respectively. The synthesis of FO of three sizes (12.7, 25.9, 47.7 nm) was carried out, after which the resulting nanoparticles were coated with BTO phase. Samples of all series were characterized by the methods of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The longitudinal magnetostriction coefficient was found to be 6.5 ppm for FO with a diameter of 12.7 nm, 6.8 ppm with a diameter of 25.9 nm, and 14.6 ppm with a diameter of 47.7 nm. Piezoresponse force microscopy measurements qualitatively showed a change in the amplitude and phase of the piezoelectric response of MENPs when a magnetic field is applied to the sample.
