Abstract

Currently, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic particulate composites are receiving a great deal of interest due to their novel applications in microelectronic devices. Their excellent properties such as high relative dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, strong tunability, and ferromagnetism with colossal magnetoresistance can be controlled by manipulating both electric and magnetic fields. Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 /La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (BST/LSMO) composite was prepared with 20:1 wt% by a high temperature solid-state reaction route. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed the formation and the coexistence of both phases corresponding to BST and LSMO. High resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed a uniform distribution of the grain size throughout the surface of the sample and the presence of all the constituent elements with its esteemed reaction stoichiometry, respectively. In spite of the presence of both phases, only one transition peak was seen (50Hz-5MHz) around 295 K in dielectric measurement suggesting a nonlinear magnetoelectric coupling. The dielectric properties of BST/LSMO composite carried with different magnetic fields (0-1.7 T) show significant change in the BST dielectric behavior at low frequencies. The M-H curves at room temperature (RT) showed a drop in the saturation magnetization compared with pure LSMO is consistent with our composite structures.
