Abstract

Multiferroic ceramic composites of (1−x)Ba0.96Ca0.04TiO3–(x)ZnFe2O4 (BCT-ZF) were prepared from ferroelectric (FE) barium calcium titanate (BCT) and ferromagnetic (FM) zinc ferrite (ZF) by using the solid state reaction method with different mol% fractions of x (x = 0.1 and 0.2). The preliminary structural studies carried out by X-ray diffraction at room temperature reveals that the samples have a tetragonal structure along with the cubic spinel ferrite phase. Raman spectra of the composites also confirm the existence of BCT phase and ZF phase. The room temperature ferroelectric polarization measurements as a function of magnetic field show the existence strong magnetoelectric coupling of 10.85 (mV/(cm.Oe).
