Properties of Low Temperature Fired Ferroelectric/Ferromagnetic Composite Materials

Abstract:

In this paper, Ni_0.60Cu_0.24Zn_0.16Fe₂O₄/BaTiO₃ composites of BaTiO₃ (BT)/NiCuZn (NCZ) with mass ratios (x) equal to 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% were synthesised by a conventional solid-state reaction method and sintered at 900oC to adapt to low temperature co-fired ceramic technology. X-ray diffraction results showed that the composites were composed of BT and NCZ phases. The microstructures of the sintered composite materials were observed and analysed using scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric and magnetic properties of the composites were improved effectively with increasing BaTiO₃ content. The influences of different compositions on the electromagnetic properties of the composites were investigated.
