    Correlation between structural deformation and magnetoelectric response in (1-x) Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3-xNiFe(1.9)Mn(0.1)O(4) particulate composites
    Islam, Rashed Adnan; Jiang, Jiechao; Bai, Feiming; Viehland, Dwight D.; Priya, Shashank (AIP Publishing, 2007-10-01)
    The ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and magnetoelectric properties of (1- x) Pb( Zr0.52Ti0.48)O-3 - xNiFe(1.9)Mn(0.1)O(4) (PZT- NFM) ceramic composites were found to be dependent upon postsinter annealing and aging. It was found on annealing and aging that (i) the size and density of the NFM phase is reduced, (ii) the PZT lattice constants changed from (a=3.8 angstrom, c= 4.07 angstrom) to (a= 4.07 angstrom, c= 4.09 angstrom), (iii) the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic Curie temperatures decreased by 8 and 33 degrees C, respectively, and (iv) the magnetoelectric coefficient increased by 50%.

    Giant magnetoelectric effect in sintered multilayered composite structures
    Islam, Rashed Adnan; Ni, Yong; Khachaturyan, Armen G.; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2008-08-15)
    Trilayer composites consisting of 0.9Pb(Zr(0.52)Ti(0.48))O(3)-0-1Pb(Zn(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3) (0.9 PZT-0.1 PZN) and Ni(0.6)Cu(0.2)Zn(0.2)Fe(2)O(4) (NCZF) in the configuration NCZF-(0.9 PZT-0.1 PZN)-NCZF were synthesized using pressure assisted sintering. Composites with optimized magnetostrictive to piezoelectric thickness ratio showed a high magnetoelectric (ME) coefficient of 525 mV/cm Oe. Further enhancement in the magnitude of ME coefficient was obtained (595 mV/cm Oe) when the angle of applied dc magnetic field was changed to 45 degrees. Changing the intermediate piezoelectric layer from single to trilayer stack geometry configuration leads to the realization of giant ME response of 782 mV/cm Oe in sintered composites.

    Magnetoelectric properties of core-shell particulate nanocomposites
    Islam, Rashed Adnan; Bedekar, Vishwas; Poudyal, Narayan; Liu, J. Ping; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2008-11-15)
    In this study, we report results on magnetoelectric (ME) core-shell Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3) (PZT)-NiFe(2)O(4) (NF) particulate nanocomposites. NF particles forming the shell had size in range of 20-30 nm. The grain size of sintered nanocomposites was found to be in the range of 500-800 nm. The sintered nanocomposite exhibited piezoelectric coefficient (d(33)) of 60 pC/N, dielectric constant of 865, and ME coefficient of 195 mV/cm Oe. High ME coefficient was observed for wide range of dc bias magnetic field. This approach of fabricating layered composite has a promise to provide large ME coefficients in particulate sintered structures.

    Progress in Dual (Piezoelectric-Magnetostrictive) Phase Magnetoelectric Sintered Composites
    Islam, Rashed Adnan; Priya, Shashank (Hindawi, 2012-04-04)
    The primary aims of this review article are (a) to develop the fundamental understanding of ME behavior in perovskite piezoelectric-spinel magnetostrictive composite systems, (b) to identify the role of composition, microstructural variables, phase transformations, composite geometry, and postsintering heat treatment on ME coefficient, and (c) to synthesize, characterize, and utilize the high ME coefficient composite. The desired range of ME coefficient in the sintered composite is 0.5–1 V/cm⋅Oe. The studies showed that the soft piezoelectric phase quantified by smaller elastic modulus, large grain size of piezoelectric phase (~1 μm), and layered structures yields higher magnitude of ME coefficient. It is also found that postsintering thermal treatment such as annealing and aging alters the magnitude of magnetization providing an increase in the magnitude of ME coefficient. A trilayer composite was synthesized using pressure-assisted sintering with soft phase [0.9 PZT–0.1 PZN] having grain size larger than 1 μm and soft ferromagnetic phase of composition Ni0.8Cu0.2Zn0.2Fe2O4 [NCZF]. The composite showed a high ME coefficient of 412 and 494 mV/cm⋅Oe after sintering and annealing, respectively. Optimized ferrite to PZT thickness ratio was found to be 5.33, providing ME coefficient of 525 mV/cm⋅Oe. The ME coefficient exhibited orientation dependence with respect to applied magnetic field. Multilayering the PZT layer increased the magnitude of ME coefficient to 782 mV/cm⋅Oe. Piezoelectric grain texturing and nanoparticulate assembly techniques were incorporated with the layered geometry. It was found that with moderate texturing, d33 and ME coefficient reached up to 325 pC/N and 878 mV/cm⋅Oe, respectively. Nanoparticulate core shell assembly shows the promise for achieving large ME coefficient in the sintered composites. A systematic relationship between composition, microstructure, geometry, and properties is presented which will lead to development of high-performance magnetoelectric materials.
