Abstract

A composite nanocapacitor was fabricated based on ferroelectric PbZr _0.52 TiM_0.48 O₃ (PZT) and half-metallic oxide La0.67 Sr0.33 MnO₃ (LSMO) with 5 nm/1 nm periodicity, respectively. X-ray θ-2θ scan and φ-scan revealed epitaxial growth of nanocapacitors. At room temperature, a microscopic polarization of 11 μC/ cm² and magnetization of 50 emu/ cm³ were measured for superlattice nanocapacitors. Local piezo force microscopy measurements revealed switching of polarization under external bias field confirming ferroelectric behavior. Zero field cooling measurements showed the existence of cusp in magnetization at low temperatures indicating spin-glass-like behavior contrary to Pb (Zr_x Ti_1-x) O₃/La_x Sr _1-x MnO₃ bilayer structure. Frequency dependent dielectric anomaly was observed near room temperature suggesting dynamic magneto (resistance)-dielectric coupling.
