We have developed a synthesis method of single‐grain two‐phase BaTiO 3 –(Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 )Fe 2 O 4 nanomaterials via a solid state reaction. The grains of BTO‐rich samples were found to have a rod‐like morphology with a high aspect ratio and a diameter of 200 nm, whereas the grains of MZF‐rich samples had a tetrahedral/octahedral cross‐section with a span of 200 nm. Such a synthesis of two‐phase perovskite/spinel single‐crystal grains with different grain geometries offers the potential to build new types of multiferroic materials.
