Abstract
We studied the structure and magnetoelectric properties of HDPE/GFO composites with different GFO weight percentages. The XRD pattern of HDPE was indexed with orthorhombic structure space group Pnam, and the XRD pattern of GFO matches the Trigonal structure space group . The XRD pattern of composites shows the presence of both phases. Raman and IR studies confirmed the presence of functional group absorption bands corresponding to HDPE and GFO in the composite system. Structural analysis confirms that nanoparticle agglomeration within the matrix is likely to occur at filler concentrations above 5 %. GFO nanoparticle incorporation is confirmed from fractured micrographs of SEM images. The field-dependant magnetization data show a clear hysteresis loop at room temperature, indicating weak ferrimagnetic properties for composite samples, the maximum magnetic moment observed for 5 % filler concentration. The frequency-dependent dielectric constant increases with an increase in filler content. Ferroelectric data confirms the room temperature ferroelectricity in the composite samples and polarization increases with filler loading. Magnetodielectric studies confirmed the presence of a coupling between the magnetic and dielectric properties of the composite.
