Abstract
BaxSr3-xCo2Fe24O41 (x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0) ceramics were synthesized via a standard solid-state reaction process to investigate the effects of Ba-substitution on their structural, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and magnetodielectric characteristics. Ba-substitution effectively stabilized the Z-type phase, mitigated Sr segregation, and enhanced both grain growth and saturation magnetization (Ms). With increasing x, the Fe-O-Fe bond angles at the junction of the magnetic blocks decreased, leading to reduced magnetic frustration and decreased stability of the transverse conical magnetic structure. For x ≤ 2.0, a saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop was observed at 100 K. Notably, the study revealed a complex relationship between the magnetodielectric effect and the substitution level, with optimal coupling coefficients observed at x = 0.5. The results also suggested that the magnetoelectric effect in Z-type hexaferrites might arise from a synergistic interplay between inverse Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions and p-d hybridization mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
