Abstract

Superstructures of linear chains and arrays of chemically self-assembled core-shell nanoparticles of nickel ferrite and barium titanate have been obtained by magnetic-field-assisted assembly (MFAA). Studies on strain mediated magneto-electric (ME) effects by ME voltage coefficient (MEVC) measurements reveal higher MEVC for MFAA samples than for unassembled films and is higher for magnetic fields parallel to the array orientation than for transverse fields. The strongest ME effect is measured in MFAA-films with a maximum MEVC of 8 mV/cm Oe, one of the highest reported for as-assembled nanocomposite. A model is discussed for the ME coupling in the MFA samples.
