Abstract

We report magnetoelectric coupling and Raman spectroscopic studies on [(1 − x)Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3-xNi0.65Zn0.35Fe2O4] (x = 0.20) PFN-NZFO composite. Apart from the presence of zone centre Raman active modes of the parent compound, some new peaks are observed in the low frequency region. The electric field controlled peak position (∼48 cm−1) suggests that this mode is of magnetic origin. From temperature dependent Raman scattering studies, temperature coefficients for phonons of different symmetries were estimated. Our measurements on electrical control of magnetic order and magnetic control of electrical order confirmed the existence of converse and direct magnetoelectric coupling in this composite at room temperature.
