Magnetoelastic coupling in multilayered ferroelectric/ferromagnetic thin films: A quantitative evaluation

► Cost-effective techniques to realize multi-layer multiferroic systems were exploited. ► Two differently engineered PZT nano-crystalline structures were realized. ► Magnetic domain wall motion induced by magnetoelastic coupling was investigated. ► 2-Dimensional statistical properties of enhanced MFM matrices were evaluated. ► Conditions leading to a compromise to realize functional devices were elucidated.
