Prediction of tunable magnetoelectric properties in compositionally graded ferroelectric/ferromagnetic laminated nanocomposites

The advent of modern thin-film deposition approaches has ushered in a new era of designed materials with well-controlled composition distributions, e.g., compositionally graded ferroelectric (CGFE) thin films, and thereby, it is readily accessible CGFE/FM (ferromagnetic) multilayer thin films. Being recognized this emerging class of materials, in this study, we develop a phase-field model based on the Ginzburg–Landau theory that takes into...
