Abstract:

Multiferroic composites of (x)NiFe2O4 + (1-x)BaTiO3 with x = 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 and (x)CoFe2O4 + (1-x)BaTiO3 with x = 0.2, and 0.4 have been synthesized by mixing NiFe2O4 (CoFe2O4) spinel and BaTiO3 piezoelectric. Distribution of Ni (Co) ions on 8a and 16d positions of spinel lattice (space group F d-3m) is determined by neutron powder diffraction. Wave vector of magnetic structure of the spinel is k = 0. The dielectric permittivity of the composites was measured for the frequency range 102 – 105 Hz. At low frequencies the dielectric permittivity decreased from ~940 for x = 0.2 to ~360 for 0.4.
