Four CoFe2O4/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (CFO/PZT) bilayered thin films with increasing PZT constituent layer thicknesses have been fabricated in order to investigate the optimized PZT layer thickness and the thickness effect on the magnetic and ferroelectric behaviors of the heterolayered multiferroic thin films. These heterostructured thin films were fabricated via a combined route of spin coating and rf sputtering. Both magnetic CFO and ferroelectric PZT phases were successfully retained in the heterostructured thin film. The improved saturation magnetization (Ms) of the CFO/PZT thin films has been observed and the enhancement increases with increasing PZT layer thickness. Both ferroelectric and dielectric measurements suggest the presence of interfacial space charge polarization arising from the ferroelectric/magnetic interface. Among the multiferroic thin films containing different PZT layer thicknesses fabricated, the thin film that consisted of six PZT constituent layers demonstrated the highest Ms value of...
