Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) composites comprising ferromagnetic and ferroelectric phases have encouraged substantial number of research activities due to strain-driven interface coupling between two different phases. The multifunctionality of ME composites makes them potential candidates for applications in novel multifunctional devices, such as sensors, memories, and medical devices. In this review, we summarized the remarkable progress in ME composite thick/thin films performed in the most recent years. Although ME nanocomposite thin films generate comparatively weaker ME coupling voltages compared to bulk composites, they have potential applications in miniaturized ME devices, such as integrated electronics, spintronics based memory devices, and medical devices owing to their ideal interfacial coupling and volumetric/areal advantages.
