Schematic illustration of three kinds of ME composite nanostructures with common connectivity schemes: (a) 0-3 particulate nanocomposite films with magnetic particles (0) embedded in a ferroelectric film matrix (3); (b) 2-2 horizontal heterostructure with alternating ferroelectric (2) and magnetic (2) layers, or simply a ferroelectric (or magnetic) thin film grown on a magnetic (or ferroelectric) substrate; and (c) 1-3 vertical heterostructure with one-phase nanopillars (1) embedded in a matrix of another phase (3).
