Abstract
Lead and rare earth-free (1-x) – (x) composites (where x = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20), consisting of ferroelectric (KNN) matrix and ferromagnetic (CFO) nano-inclusions, were densified via spark plasma sintering (SPS) to develop multifunctional materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the absence of secondary phases. High resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) revealed dense microstructures, with increasing CFO grain size at higher CFO content. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping and scattered scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) confirmed CFO distribution in KNN matrix. Ferroelectric hysteresis loops demonstrated ferroelectricity in all composites. Dielectric measurements showed relaxation behavior with increasing losses for higher CFO content. Magnetic analysis at room temperature indicated a dominant ferromagnetic behavior, with superparamagnetic and diamagnetic contributions from CFO and KNN, respectively. Our complete full knowledge studies functionalities will be helpful to build ceramics architectures suitable for magneto-electric properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
