Synthesis and Characterization of Multiferroic Composite (Barium Titanate-Nickel Ferrite)by Solid State Route

Abstract

Conventional ceramic processing method was followed to study 50-50 Barium Titanate and Nickel Ferrite composite. Mixed oxide of BaCO3 and TiO2 for BaTiO3 and NiO and Fe2O3 for NiFe2O4 were calcined at 1000o C for four hour and 900o C for four hour respectively. Phases of particular compounds have been confirmed by XRD. The pellets of composites were sintered at varying temperature (1100, 1150, 1200 oC for 4 hr). The samples were made ready for required characterization. The observations from XRD were proved to be important for the composite as this is the requirement for making good composite.
