Abstract

The multiferroic magnetoelectric 2–2 laminated composite systems with BaTiO3 and NiFe2O4 as the ferroelectric and ferrimagnetic phases were successfully fabricated by co-firing technique. For this phase, pure BaTiO3 and NiFe2O4 were successfully synthesized by sol–gel and polyol method, respectively. The structural, microstructural, multiferroic and magnetoelectric coupling properties of phase pure and co-fired systems were investigated using X-ray diffraction, HR-TEM, SEM–EDX, P–E Loop, VSM and magnetoelectric coupling analysis. The multiferroic and magnetoelectric coupling properties of the laminated systems were compared with the mixed system having similar weight percentage of BaTiO3 and NiFe2O4. The fabricated composite systems show good multiferroic and magnetoelectric properties. Compared to mixed composite systems, the laminated structure has an enhanced magnetoelectric (ME) coupling of 6.42 mV/cm.Oe. This variation in ME coupling is attributed to the low leakage current effects in the laminated systems. The ME coupling in the laminates varies with the nature and number of layers. For laminated composite systems, the ME coupling coefficient is found to increase from 6.42 mV/cm.Oe to 10.48 mV/cm.Oe with increase in the number of layers.
