Compositional-driven variations in magnetic, conductivity, and ferroelectric properties of multiferroic BiFeO3–CoFe2O4 composite system
Source abstract
Abstract
The matrix of multiferroic BiFeO3(1 −x) and CoFe2O4(x) as a filler with varying weight fractions (x= 10, 30, 50%) was synthesized by the sol–gel technique. The microstructure reveals that the filler at a critical weight fraction of 30% forms a clustering network that spans the entire system. Temperature-dependent dc resistivity of the composite systems confirms the semiconducting behavior where the large change in resistivity is mainly attributed to scattering by grain boundaries between percolating clusters. The VSM analysis implies that saturation magnetization in composite samples withx= 10% and 50% increases to 17 emu/g and 35 emu/g, respectively. The impedance analysis showed the presence of severe trapped charges that lead to depolarization effect in composites. However, the dielectric loss remains low for all composite systems till 104Hz with the loss peak appearing around 105Hz.Graphical abstract
