Abstract

A considerable effort has been put forward in order to grow magnetoelectric nanostructured materials. Besides fundamental science, they are very attractive in the electronic industry as well as magnetic storage media, solar energy conversion due to their nanometer scale. Semiconducting properties along with ferromagnetic order functionality have been the focus in the area of spintronics. It is believed that all metal oxides in nanostructured forms would exhibit ferromagnetic order at room temperature which disappears in bulk samples. The general understanding is that the origin of ferromagnetism in these materials is the magnetic exchange interactions between localized electron spin moments resulting from uncompensated charges, intrinsic defects, cation or anion vacancies at the surfaces of the nanostructures. However, systematic studies on the origin of ferromagnetism are lacking. Within is context, we intend to study the physical properties of transition metal oxides and conventional multiferroic system in nanosized scale focusing on the origin of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity.
