Abstract


Multiferroic nanocomposites materials with the composition xNi0.6 Zn0.4Fe2O4/(1-x)BaTiO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5) (xNZFO/(1-x) BTO) with the particle size about 80-100 nm were prepared by high energy ball milling and thermal processing methods. The structural, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric and optical properties of these composites were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns show an existence of two phase, Ni0.6 Zn0.4Fe2O4 (NZFO) and BaTiO3 (BTO) phases. At room temperature, in the range of the maximum electric field of 10 kV/cm, the values of the remnant polarization (Pr), coercive field (Ec), and saturation magnetization (Ms) drastically increase in the ranges of 0.0055-0.0158 µC/cm2, 1.05 -3.2  kV/cm, and 0.6-31,2 emu/g, respectively, due to the effect of increasing ferromagnetism NZFO content from x = 0 to x = 0.5. Besides, the influence of the NZFO content on the optical properties of nanocomposites was studied. When the NZFO content increases from x = 0 to x = 0.5, the band gap energy of the material decreases from 3.2 to 2.65 eV.
