Abstract

We report the study of the magneto-optical properties of composite multiferroic thin films composed of CoFe2O4 nanopillars embedded in a BiFeO3 matrix. The magneto-optical Kerr rotation and Kerr ellipticity in these films have been measured and are in good agreement with magnetization measurements. The Kerr signal has been studied as a function of film composition and nanopillar diameter confirming that the magneto-optical signal is due solely to the CoFe2O4 nanopillars.
