We prepared BaTiO3-CoFe2O4 composite thin film on (La0.5Sr0.5)CoO3/CeO2/YSZ/Si(100) substrate by pulsed laser deposition. Simultaneous epitaxial growths of BaTiO3 and CoFe2O4 were achiieved. Reciprocal space map measurement revealed that the lattice parameters of BaTiO3 parallel and perpendicular to the substrate are 0.4239 and 0.4060 nm. respectively. The fact that both lattice parameters are larger than those of the bulk (a = 0.3994, c = 0.4038 nm) suggests that the BaTiO3 film contains a considerable amount of oxygen vacancies and a relatively large temsile stressis observed along the direction parallel to the substrate. These results indicate that the BaTiO3 iflm has (h00) orientation however, we consider that the small amount of (001) orientation component is also included although the (001) orientation component is not clearly detected by X-raydiffraction. The magnetization-magnetic field (M-H) hystreresis measurement revealed that the film had a high perpendicular coercivity of 7.0 kOe. In addition, a distinct perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was observed. The distribution of magnetic domains was observed by magnetic force microscopy. Polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis measurement revealed that the BaTiO3-CoFe2O4 composite film had weak ferroelectricity with considerable leakage current. It was also found that the shape of the P-E curve was changed by the application of a lateral magnetic field of 0.2T. The change would have been caused by the follwing two possiblities: (1) magnetostriction of CoFe2O4 and (2) magnetic resistivity of Cofe(2)O(4) or (La0.5Sr0.5)CoO3.
