Abstract

The existence of an indirect magnetoelectricity in a soft composite material prepared as a mixture of magnetite ferromagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) and the ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) Felix 015/100 was verified by using a SQUID-based magnetometer. It was observed that the orientation of nanoparticles is directly coupled to the liquid crystal director field. Such a coupling allows the possibility of indirect coupling between the magnetic and ferroelectric order. This gifts the mixtures of FLC and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with a great potential for soft indirect magnetoelectrics.
