Abstract

The composite materials with formula (1 − x) [Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 + BaTiO3] + (x) (PEG); 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 have been prepared via citrate autocombustion method. Physical properties of composite materials consisting of different ratios of polyethylene glycol powder were investigated. With the variation of x, typical magnetic hysteresis loops have been observed in the composites at room temperature. When PEG content increases, the saturation magnetization decreases. Meanwhile, the coercive force tends to be stable. Additionally, the dielectric constant (ε ′) and dielectric loss factor (ε ″) of composite materials shift toward higher frequency. The value of ε ′ decreased with increasing frequency, which indicates that the major contribution to the polarization comes from orientation polarization. The composites with doping PEG polymer may be useful for technological applications such as thermistors, transducers, magnetic probes, etc.
