Abstract
Polycrystalline [(0.5) Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-(0.5) LaFeO3] multiferroic composite is prepared by using the solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure of both phases is characterized by using the X-ray diffraction method (XRD) and confirms the presence of rhombohedral (i.e., bismuth sodium titanate) and orthorhombic (i.e., lanthanum ferrite) phases in the composite. The microstructure of the composite is analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The crystal structure is further studied with Raman spectroscopy. The present composite exhibits ferroelectric and ferrimagnetic-like properties, revealing its multiferroic behavior. Furthermore, the impedance analysis of the composite shows the negative temperature coefficient of resistance behavior. The present study describes the structural and physical properties of the possible lead-free multiferroic composite.
