Two-component multiferroics are gaining attention within the last years. These compound materials, consisting of ferromagnetic and ferroelectric layers, combine the advantages (e. g. high curie temperatures) of their components in a tuneable magnetoelectric structure.
Ab initio DFT studies of ultrathin Fe films on ferroelectric BaTiO3 show that their magnetoelectric coupling can be enhanced considerably by means of interface alloying.
In these systems, the magnetoelectric coupling is related to structural changes in the interface region under polarisation reversal of the BaTiO3 substrate. In one of the considered cases, a magnetic phase transition with high change in the total magnetization is triggered under polarization reversal.
