Abstract

Developing Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-based magnetoelectric (ME) coupling composites with higher depolarization temperature is highly valuable for the environment-friendly smart electronic devices. We have developed a new kind of 0-3 type 0.94Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3:xCoFe2O4 (NBTBT:xCFO, x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) composite ceramics with a deferred depolarization temperature, together with an additional strong ME coupling of 9.2mV/cm·Oe for the NBTBT:0.2CFO. The basic structure, ferroelectric/ferromagnetic properties, and the depolarization temperature of the NBTBT:xCFO composite ceramics were investigated. It was found that an enhancement of depolarization temperature (>25°C) was obtained in these 0-3 type composites relative to the pure NBTBT ones (115°C vs 90°C). The mechanism of the enhanced depolarization temperature of the composites is discussed. The present results demonstrate that NBTBT:xCFO composites have great potential for ME devices.
