Abstract

Multiferroic composites are getting the spotlight in scientific community because of their versatility in various room temperature applications including the spintronics devices, actuators, sensors, and other multifunctional memory devices. Multiferroic 4-phase polymer-ceramic composites in the form of (1 − x)[0.9(0.3CoFe2O4-0.7BiFeO3)-0.1Pb(Zr0.52,Ti0.48)O3]-xPVDF (BFO-CFO-PZT/PVDF) have been synthesized by a sol–gel and hot-pressed combined low-temperature process. The impact of the PDVF addition with different volume on the structure, morphology, ferroelectric, dielectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric features are investigated. XRD analysis shows the presence of 4 distinct phases of CFO, BFO, PZT, and PVDF. The dielectric loss and remanent polarization were found to reduce proportionally to the addition of PVDF. In the mean time, the magnetoelectric coupling retain similar large values irrelevant with the addition of PVDF. It is then concluded that the introduction of PVDF polymer matrix is able to overcome the flaws of BFO-CFO-PZT composite while retain its exceptional multiferroic properties.
