Ferroelectric-Ferromagnetic Solid Solutions of PZT-Ferrite Type

Abstract

In presented work the ferroelectric-ferromagnetic solid solutions based on multicomponent PZT type ferroelectric powders and ferromagnetic powder (chromium-manganese-zinc ferrite) were designed and obtained. In solid solutions the ferroelectric powders have 90 percent share, while ferrite powders have 10 percent share. The syntheses of mixed components of solid solutions were performed using the solid phase method and final densification was performed by free sintering (compacting method).The XRD, the microstructure, dielectric and magnetic (and electrical hysteresis loop) investigations were performed. Obtained results shown that solid solution PZT-ferrite type shown at low temperatures coexistence the magnetic and the electrical subsystem. Such properties of these materials give the possibility to use them to construct magnetoelectric transducers.
