Although the bulk hexaferrites are known to exhibit strong magnetoelectric (ME) effects near room temperature, the same effects are not realized in a thin film form. Herein, the growth of nearly epitaxial Co2Z-type hexaferrite Ba0.3Sr22.7Co2Fe24O41 (BSCFO) thin films on a SrTiO3 (111) substrate by a chemical solution deposition method is reported. The reciprocal space mapping on the annealed BSCFO films reveals broadening along the qx directions in the (0014) and (0018) peaks, indicating that the oxygen planes belonging to the off-centered octahedra have randomly distributed out-of-plane tilt to indicate significant disorder in the crystallographic orientation. Quantitative investigations reveal that both ME susceptibility and modulated electric polarization (ΔP) by magnetic field up to 370 K in the BSCFO films are always larger than those of the Co2Z-type single crystal by ≈2–15 times.
