Different self-assembled magnetic nanowire arrays were achieved with similar to 100% trapping rate on templates with nanomagnet arrays under a low external magnetic field (∽10 Oe). The principles of magnetic charge matching and dimension matching between the magnetic nanowires to be assembled and the gaps between two nanomagnets were proposed and demonstrated to be crucial for achieving low magnetostatic energy and high trapping rate. This templated self-assembly technique and the proposed template design principles have great potential for nanomanufacturing of regular arrays of magnetic nanostructures.

Ni₀.₂₃Fe₂.₇₇O₄ (NFO)/Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) multiferroic composites were synthesized by spin-spray deposition of NFO film onto PZT at 90°C. Strong interface adhesion between NFO and PZT was observed, which was verified by high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicating excellent wetting between the NFO and PZT, and by the strong magnetoelectric coupling in the NFO/PZT multiferroic composite showing an electric field induced remnant magnetization change of 10%. This strong interface adhesion and low-temperature spin-spray synthesis of multiferroic materials provide an alternative route for novel integrated multiferroic materials and devices.

Strong magnetoelectric (ME) coupling was demonstrated in Fe₃O₄/PZN–PT (lead zinc niobate–lead titanate) multiferroic heterostructures obtained through a sputter deposition process. The dependence of the magnetic anisotropy on the electric field (E-field) is theoretically predicted and experimentally observed by ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. A large tunable in-plane magnetic anisotropy of up to 600 Oe, and tunable out-of-plane anisotropy of up to 400 Oe were observed in the Fe₃O₄/PZN–PT multiferroic heterostructures, corresponding to a large ME coefficient of 100 Oe cm/kV in plane and 68 Oe cm/kV out of plane, which match well with predicted results. In addition, the electric field manipulation of …
