Abstract:

Lead free Multiferroic composites that comprise Co0.6Zn0.4Fe1.7Mn0.3O4 (CZFMO) and 72.5(Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3)-22.5(Bi1/2K1/2TiO3)-5(BiMg1/2Ti1/2O3) (BNT-BNT-BMgT) were synthesized using sol-gel method and it’s structural, ferroelectric and magnetic properties were studied. The X-ray diffraction displayed the single phase formation of parent phases and the presence of two phases in the composites. The samples showed a well saturated polarization-electric field hysteresis loops. The remnant polarization and saturation polarization values are decreased with increasing ferrite content. Room temperature (RT) magnetic measurements show that composites are soft magnetic. The composite with x = 0.2, showed the enhanced magnetic and ferroelectric properties. Moreover, these ME composites provide a great opportunity as potential lead free systems for multifuntional device applications.
