The BiFeO3-Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 composite film in which BiFeO3 nanoparticles are distributed in the Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 matrix was prepared by electrophoretic deposition method. The microstructural characterization revealed the structural distortion of the BiFeO3 phase, induced by the unique BiFeO3-Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 core/shell structure. The composite film exhibited evidence of ferroelectricity with enhanced ferromagnetism as well as a magnetoelectric effect. The two origins for the magnetoelectric effect are presented. This present work provides a promising roadmap to improve the magnetoelectric effect of BiFeO3-based multiferroics for actual applications.
