Abstract

The influence of an additional La_0.67Sr_0.33MnO₃ (LSMO) magnetic phase on the structural, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and magnetoelectric properties of Ba_0.85Ca_0.15Zr_0.1Ti_0.9O₃ (BCZT) ferroelectric phase was studied for composites of (1-x)BCZT -xLSMO (x = 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%). The ferroelectric BCZT sample showed a perovskite single phase formation with a tetragonal crystal structure of the P4mm space group, and the magnetic phase of LSMO presented a rhombohedral crystal structure of R3c space group as shown by XRD. The composite sample with 25% LSMO exhibited large ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties with remnant, saturation polarization, and coercive electric field P_r ~7.74 μC/cm², P_s ~11.69 μC/cm² and E_C ~12.22 kV/cm with a piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ ~ 231 pC/N. The magnetic characterization for the composites showed that the sample containing 75% of LSMO revealed the highest remnant, saturation magnetization, and coercive field of M_r ~1.358 emu/g, M_s ~19.17 emu/g, and H_C ~33.19 Oe, respectively. Moreover, it revealed the largest magnetoelectric coupling coefficient α_ME ~2.51 mV/cm.Oe with high coupling quality at a lower applied magnetic field. The results highlight the value of these composites as lead-free room temperature magnetoelectric sensors and actuators.
