Abstract
A magnetoelectric composite device having a free (i.e. switchable) layer of ferromagnetic nanocrystals mechanically coupled a ferroelectric single crystal substrate is presented, wherein application of an electrical field on the composite switches the magnetic state of the switchable layer from a superparamagnetic state having no overall net magnetization to a substantially single-domain ferromagnetic state.
