Abstract
Non lead based ternary solid solution 72.5(Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3)–22.5(Bi1/2K1/2TiO3)–5(BiMg1/2Ti1/2O3) with high piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ) of 180 pC/N has been prepared. Further, magnetoelectric (ME) particulate composites (1 − x)[72.5(BNT)-22.5(BKT)-5(BMgT)] − x CoFe2O4 (CFO) (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were synthesized and a systematic study of structural, ferroelectric, magnetic and ME properties was undertaken. Large ME voltage coefficient (α E ) values accompanied by large piezoelectric coefficient and the adequate interface contact between the magnetic and electric phases were observed in these composites. The composite with x = 0.2, showed the large value of ME voltage coefficient (α E ) ~112 mV/cmOe due to higher d 33 (~125 pC/N) of composite. The present study demonstrate a new environmental-friendly ME particulate composite for future applications.
