Abstract

Through an experimental approach (synthesis and characterization) this research project aims at the development of new Nanostructured Multifunctional Systems (KxNa1-x) NbO3 / CoFe2O4 produced by radiofrequency deposition aiming the systematic investigation of dielectric and magnetoelectric properties. May provide a better understanding of the nature of the magnetetoelectric coupling in this new family of nanostructured materials.
