We report a new material (Fe0.66Dy0.24Tb0.1)3O7-x (FDTO), which shows semiconducting behavior with reasonable electrical conductivity ( 500 mOhm-cm), an optical band-gap (2.4 eV), and a large enough magnetic moment ( 200 emu/cc), all of which can be tuned by varying the oxygen content during deposition. Magnetoelectric devices were made by integrating ultrathin FDTO with multiferroic BiFeO3. A strong enhancement in the magnetic coercive field of FDTO grown on BiFeO3 validated a large exchange coupling between them. Additionally, FDTO served as an excellent top electrode for ferroelectric switching in BiFeO3 with no sign of degradation after 1010 switching cycles. RT magneto-electric coupling was demonstrated by modulating the resistance states of spin-valve structures using electric fields. © 2020, The Author(s).}, year = {2020}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {10}, number = {1}, publisher = {Nature Research}, issn = {20452322}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-020-58592-5}, note = {cited By 0}, language = {eng}, }
