Abstract

We report the magnetic properties and the magnetoelectric effect in Y-type hexaferrite polycrystalline sample of Ba0.5Sr1.5Co2Fe12O22 (BSCFO). The magnetic critical temperature of BSCFO is 620 K, and the low-temperature helical magnetic order can hold up to 255 K. The isothermal magnetization curves sustain ferromagnetic hysteresis from 10 K to 300 K. Under external magnetic fields, the magnetic field induced electric polarization is observed up to 150 K. The magnitude and the sign of the electric polarization can be controlled by the applied magnetic field. These magnetic and magnetoelectric results provide the promise of the studied new hexaferrite as a potential multiferroic material.
