In PbTiO₃ / La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ nanostructure arrays we confirmed a self-organizing pattern consisting of out-of plane 180^∘ ferroelectric domains. The pattern was observed in Piezo-Force microscopy (PFM) as well as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and threshold photoemission (TPES) using X-ray Photoemission Electron Microscopy (XPEEM). As found by PFM and XAS, the pattern correlates with the LSMO thickness as well as with the Mn valency state, indicating an electronic reconstruction at the interface. The observed effects could provide new ways of constructing multiferroic or magnetoelectric devices tuning the LSMO magnetism.
