Abstract

SrCO3/ZnO-codoped 0.9Pb1−y Sr y [(Zr0.23Ti0.36)–(Mg1/2W1/2)–(Ni1/3Nb2/3)]O3–0.10 Ni0.8Co0.1Cu0.1Fe2O4 + xZnO ceramics have been prepared via a solid-state reaction method. The effects of the SrCO3 and ZnO contents on the phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of the ceramics were investigated. The SrCO3 and ZnO contents had a significant effect on the electrical properties of the specimens. The composite with 0.2 mol.% SrCO3 and 0.2 wt.% ZnO content sintered at 1170°C exhibited good performance with d 33 = 332 pC/N, ε r = 2433 (1 kHz), ε m = 23,787 (1 kHz), T c = 196°C, and dE/dH = 424 μV/cm Oe. The results indicate that this system has potential as a magnetoelectric material for multifunctional applications.
