Abstract

Through an experimental approach (synthesis and characterizations) this research project aims the development of new Nanostructured Multifunctional systems of (KxNa1-x)NbO3/CoFe2O4, produced via radiofrequency deposition, aiming a systematic investigation of the dielectric and magnetoelectric properties, which could provide a better understanding of the nature of magnetoelectric coupling in this new family of nanostructured materials.(AU)
