Abstract
The xBa0.8Ca0.2TiO3-(1 - x)NiCuZn ferrite (x 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9) nanocomposites were prepared by using sol-gel method. The densification of these composites was carried out using microwave sintering method. The magnetic field induced changes in the ferroelectric polarization loop may support the possible magnetoelectric coupling between Ba0.8Ca0.2TiO3 and NiCuZn ferrite phases. The observed change in ferroelectric polarization with applied magnetic field proves the coupling between magnetic and ferroelectric order parameters. The loop change is observed with the composition and with magnetic field. The magnetoelectric coefficient of the nanocomposite with x 0.3 shows a value of 280 mV/cm Oe is obtained.
