LaSrMnO3/PbZrTiO3 (LSMO/PZT) magnetoelectric heterostructures make them attractive not only for data storage applications but also for studying strain measurements. There are many reasons why LSMO/PZT magnetoelectric heterostructures were selected for our studies such as the excellent lattice matching and high ordering temperatures. X-ray micro diffraction technique is used to observe local strain behavior at the interface of LaSrMnO3/PbZrTiO3 magnetoelectric heterostructures. Due to high spatial resolution in X-ray spot size (~1 mm) laterally, the observation of strain measurements in thickness-dependent PbZrTiO3 reveals shiftings of LSMO and PZT peaks, allowing an understanding of the behavior of strain at the interface which can be related to the mechanism of magnetoelectric coupling.
