Experimentally the polarization P and the magnetization M of BaTiO3 (BTO) nanoparticles are altered under doping with transition metals as Fe‐ions. Using a modified spin model for the magnetic and the ferroelectric part as well as the magnetoelectric coupling we have calculated the dependence of M and P on the Fe‐doping content in BTO nanoparticles. The ferroelectric and ferromagnetic phase transition temperatures, T c fe and T c fm , are likewise shifted due to doping. Owing to surface effects the influence of doping could be stronger compared to the bulk behavior. Whereas M and T c fm increase with increasing Fe‐ion concentration, P and T c fe decrease if the dopant concentration is enhanced.
