Abstract

The properties of 0.94BNT-0.06BT/xNiO lead-free nanocomposites were investigated. The NiO additive influenced dielectric properties as well as the phase transition behavior of the samples. Dielectric properties under applied magnetic fields were also measured. After addition of the additive, the loss tangent could be controlled by an applied magnetic field. Furthermore, the P-E hysteresis loop changed from a normal hysteresis loop for the unmodified sample to a constricted loop for the x = 0.5 and 1.0 vol. % samples, and then became a lossy capacitor hysteresis loop for the x = 2.0 vol. % sample. These results suggest that NiO nanoparticles have a strong influence on the properties of the composites.
