Magnetoelectric (ME) composite thin films are promising candidates for novel applications in future nanoelectronics, spintronics, memory and other multifunctional devices as they exhibit much higher ME coupling and transition temperatures (Tc) than well-known single phase multiferroics discovered to date. Among the three types of multiferroic composite nanostructures, (2-2) layered and (1-3) vertically aligned composite nanostructures exhibit comparatively smaller ME coupling due to different shortcomings which restrict their use in many applications. Here we study the morphological, piezoresponse force microscopic (PFM), ferroelectric, magnetic, and magnetodielectric properties of 0-3 (magnetic nanoparticles (0) homogeneously distributed in ferroelectric matrices (3)) multiferroic composite thin films. The Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 (PFN) - Ni0.65Zn0.35Fe2O4 (NZFO) particulate composite films were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). These particulate composite thin films are completely c-axis oriented with very low surface roughness. We observed magnetic and ferroelectric Tc above room temperature (RT) for all composite thin films. The PFN-NZFO 0-3 composites exhibit large polarization, high saturated magnetization with low coercive field, low dielectric loss along with magnetodielectric coupling at RT. These nanocomposites might be utilized in next generation nano/microelectronics and spintronic devices.
