(y) Li0.5Ni0.7Zn0.05Fe2O4+ (1-y) Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3magnetoelectric composites with y = 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 were prepared by a conventional standard double sintering ceramic technique. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the phase formation of ferrite, ferroelectric and their composites. logρdcVs 1/T graphs reveal that the dc resistivity decreases with increasing temperature exhibiting semiconductor behavior. The plots of logσacVs logω2are almost linear indicating that the conductivity increases with increase in frequency i.e. conductivity in the composites is due to small poloron hopping. Dielectric constant (έ) and dielectric loss (tan δ) were studied as a function of frequency in the range 100Hz–1MHz which reveal the normal dielectric behavior except the composite with y = 0.1and as a function of temperature at four fixed frequencies (i.e. 100Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz, 100KHz). ME voltage coefficient decreases with increase in ferrite content and was observed to be maximum of about 7.495 mV/cmOe for S1i.e. (0.1) Li0.5Ni0.7Zn0.05Fe2O4+ (0.9) Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3composite.

Lead-free multiferroic magnetoelectric composites were prepared by incorporating the dispersed 0.4CoFe2O4ferromagnetic nanoparticles into 0.6(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-LiSbO3ferroelectric micromatrix. From the x-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that almost no chemical reaction occurs between the ferrite and the ferroelectric materials used to form the composite. Dielectric properties as a function of frequency were measured. The magnetoelectric couple effect was given as a function of magnetic field with a maximum magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 15.01mV·cm-1·Oe-1at 1kHz, which was a very high value in the lead-free magnetoelectric composites system for the potential use on actuators and sensors, etc.

Applications of physical techniques to studies of membrane structure have increased greatly in the past few years and they have begun to provide more precise structural parameters for membranes and also some indication of the physical states of the molecular constituents in the membranes. Direct measurements of membrane features have been made by electron microscopy and by X-ray diffraction methods. Spectroscopic techniques especially infrared absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance absorption and optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism measurements have provided additional data relating to the physical states of the molecular components in the membranes.

The melt-spun Y2(Fe,Mn)17ribbons were synthesized by rapid quenching from the melt. The phase composition, crystal structure and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in low-cost iron-based pseudo-binary Y2(Fe,Mn)17ribbons were investigated respectively by using x-ray diffraction and direct measurements of MCE. It was found that crystal structure of the as-spun ribbons retains hexagonal Th2Ni17-type because of the weak glass-forming ability. The Y2Fe14Mn3and Y2Fe13Mn4nanostructured ribbons demonstrate higher MCE compare to polycrystalline alloys.

The residual strain has been mapped across suspended 3C-SiC membranes and wires using synchrotron based micro X-ray diffraction (μ-XRD). Residual tensile strain is observed to relax slightly upon suspension in both sets of structures. Similar maps were acquired by calculating the residual strain from the shift in 3C-SiC Raman peaks. Comparable trends in strain relaxation are observed by both methods, although the sensitivity of μ-XRD is higher using our measurement conditions. While Raman shift provides a fast and convenient method for mapping strain variations, it cannot give direct measurements of the lattice parameters that can be achieved with μ-XRD, making these techniques excellent complimentary methods of mapping residual strain in 3C-SiC.

Magnetoelectric composites of zinc ferrite and soft lead zirconate titanate (PZT) having formula 0.5 ZnFe2O4-0.5 PZT were synthesized by sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out to confirm the coexistence of individual phase. TEM micrographs were taken to confirm the formation of nanosized powders and SEM micrographs were taken to study the morphology of the sintered pellets. Dielectric and P-E hysteresis loops were recorded, respectively, to confirm the ferroelectric properties of the composites.

Interface stress is a surface thermodynamics quantity associated with the reversible work of elastically straining an internal solid interface. In a multilayered thin film, the combined effect of the interface stress of each interface results in an in-plane biaxial volume stress acting within the layers of the film that is inversely proportional to the bilayer thickness. We calculated the interface stress of an interface between {111} textured Ag and Ni on the basis of direct measurements of the dependence of the in-plane elastic strains on the bilayer thickness. The strains were obtained using transmission x-ray diffraction. Unlike previous studies of this type, we used freestanding films so that there was no need to correct for intrinsic stresses resulting from forces applied by the substrate that can lead to large uncertainties of the calculated interface stress value. Based on the lattice parameters of the bulk, pure elements, an interface stress of −2.02 ± 0.26 N/m was calculated using the x-ray diffraction results from films with bilayer thicknesses greater than 5 nm. This value is somewhat smaller than previous measurements obtained from as-deposited films supported by substrates. For smaller bilayer thicknesses the apparent interface stress becomes smaller in magnitude, possibly due to a loss of layering in the specimens.

We report studies on dielectric properties of magnetoelectric composites of La-substituted lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) and zinc-doped nickel ferrite (NZF) with compositional formula 0.95 Pb1-3x/2LaxZr0.65Ti0.35O3-0.05 Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4(, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03). The materials were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction route. The presence of individual phases (PLZT and NZF) was confirmed by using X-ray diffraction technique. Dielectric properties were studied as a function of temperature and frequency. Significant improvement was observed in dielectric properties with addition of La.
