Journal of Applied Physics, 104(10). doi: 10.1063/1.30134370021-8979http://hdl.handle.net/10919/52403In 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.5 pagesapplication/pdfen-USIn CopyrightPiezoelectric transducersSinteringNanoparticlesPiezoelectricityCoercive forceArticle - Refereedhttp://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jap/104/10/10.1063/1.3013437https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3013437
