Ba_xSr_1−xTiO₃ (BSTO) epitaxial thin films became feasible for room temperature applications in contrast to the bulk material due to a possibility to enhance the ferroelectric Curie temperature under biaxial compressive strain. Using La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ (LSMO) thin films as metallic electrodes, we have grown highly strained BSTO/LSMO bilayers and LSMO/BSTO/LSMO trilayers on SrTiO₃ (100) substrates with BSTO layer thicknesses of 10 - 200 nm by means of metalorganic aerosol deposition. Ferroelectric switching was studied both electrically and by nonlinear optics (second harmonic generation (SHG)). Capacitance-voltage characteristics in a frequency range of f = 1 − 10⁶ Hz and PUND measurements prove a ferroelectric hysteretic behavior up to room temperature with a remanent polarization of several µ C/cm² and a switching fields in the range of 10 − 100 kV/cm. This was also supported by the SHG measurements. A detailed study of multiferroic properties will be performed for temperatures, T = 10 − 400 K, and applied magnetic field, B = 0 − 9 T.
