Strong magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic BiFeO3–Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 composite films derived from electrophoretic deposition
The BiFeO3–Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 composite film in which BiFeO3 nanoparticles are distributed in the Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 matrix was prepared by electrophoretic deposition method. The microstructural...

Finite difference time domain simulation reveals plasmon coupling and local field enhancement at the gap between the gold nanoparticle (NP) tip of a ZnO nanowire (NW) waveguide and a gold-coated substrate or a gold NP probe. The region of field enhancement is about three times smaller than the 100 nm diameter of the gold NP tip, making the NW waveguide grown on a transparent microcantilever well-suited for near field imaging of single molecules immobilized on a gold substrate or gold NP-labeled cell membranes with superior spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
