We report on room temperature (RT) magnetoelectric coupling in tetragonal BaTi{sub 1−x}Cr{sub x}O{sub 3} thin film multiferroics (BTCO) sputter deposited on (100) SrTiO{sub 3} (where x = 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03). As-deposited thin films are vacuum annealed by electron beam rapid thermal annealing technique. 50 nm thick BTCO with “x = 0.01” shows RT ferromagnetic and ferroelectric response with saturation magnetic moment of 1120 emu/cc and polarization of 14.7 microcoulomb/cm{sup 2}. Piezoresponse/magnetic force microscope images shows RT magnetoelectric coupling in BTCO with “x = 0.01,” which is confirmed using magnetocapacitance measurement where an increase in capacitance from 17.5 pF to 18.4 pF is observed with an applied magnetic field.
