Summary :

We have constructed a new concept device with combination of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials by a laser ablation technique. An ideal hetero-epitaxy can be obtained owing to the similar crystal structure of perovskite type ferroelectric Pb (Zr, Ti) O3; (so called PZT) and ferromagnetic (La, Sr) MnO3. The ferromagnetic (La, Sr) MnO3 compounds are well known for their colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) properties. The CMR effect is strongly affected by the lattice stress. The PZT, on the other hand, is famous for its large piezoelectrics. We can introduce the lattice stress easily by applying voltage for the piezoelectric compounds. In the heterostructured ferromagnetic/ferroelectric devices, there are remarkable interesting phenomena. Electric properties of the ferromagnetic material can be controlled by piezoelectric effect via distortion of crystal structure.
