Magnetoelectric properties of multiferroic ceramic composites

Abstract The paper analyzes the influence of hard and soft admixture on functional properties multiferroic ceramic composites. Two composite materials via solid-state reaction route were obtained. PZT-type (with or admixture) selected as ferroelectric component (90%), nickel–zinc ferrite magnetic (10%). doping type (soft component) composites’ dielectric, ferroelectric, electromechanical, magnetic, magnetoelectric analyzed. Microstructural studies revealed microstructure composites with correct distribution in matrix, suitable for maintaining both materials. Research has shown that using a PZT (from morphotropic region doped ferroelectrically niobium shows many advantages, positively influencing composite. It ensures effective polarization sample, obtaining high effect, which is required sensors converters. higher stability physical parameters, but its characteristic property also hinders sample.
