Self-poled ultra-thin ferroelectric PbZr 0.52 Ti 0.48 O 3 (PZT) (5 and 7 nm) films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition technique on ferromagnetic La 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (LSMO) (30 nm) to check the effect of polar capping on magnetization for ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) devices.PZT/LSMO heterostructures with thick polar PZT (7 nm) capping show nearly 100% enhancement in magnetization compared with thin polar PZT (5 nm) films, probably due to excess hole transfer from the ferroelectric to the ferromagnetic layers. Core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies revealed the presence of larger Mn 3s exchange splitting and higher Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ ion ratio in the LMSO with 7 nm polar capping.
