The system of CoFe2O4 nanopillars in a BaTiO3 matrix represents a multiferroic nanocomposite in which strong ferrimagnetism and strong ferroelectricity coexist at room temperature [1]. The magnetostrictive CFO nanopillars and the piezoelectric BTO matrix are coupled by strain so that it is possible to change the electric properties by a magnetic field and the magnetic properties by an electric field. The charge anisotropy of Ti ions is probed by x-ray linear dichroism (XLD) and the magnetisation of Co ions by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) giving the unique possibility to study the effect of the coupling on a microscopic level as a function of magnetic field strength and direction. The occurrence of significant in-plane components of the electric polarisation is discussed. They are due to shear forces acting on the BaTiO3 matrix while taking into account non-diagonal piezoelectricity components.
