Abstract

Multiferroic nano-composite (1-x) BiFeO3–x Li0.5Fe2.5O4 (x=0.25 and 0.5) have been successfully synthesized by mixing the two phases, prepared independently by two different methods followed by annealing at 600 0 C. Existence of the two phases in the composite is confirmed by x-ray diffraction pattern. Average particle size is calculated to be about 45 nm for both of these phases. The saturation magnetization, remnant magnetization and coercive field increases linearly with increasing ferromagnetic phase (Li0.5Fe2.5O4) as investigated by VSM measurement. Local magnetic behaviors have been investigated by 57 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopic studies. Large dielectric constant of the order of 10 3 -10 4 has been observed in these composites.
