Investigation of electrical and optical properties in Nd and Yb-doped multiferroic composites of cobalt ferrite and lead zirconium titanate
摘要
The multiferroic composites xCoNd0.1Fe1.9O4—(1-x) Pb0.97Yb0.03Zr0.52Ti0.48O3 (x = 0.02, 0.05 and 0.07) were analysed to investigate their dielectric and optical properties. Variations in dielectric properties with respect to frequency and temperature exhibited improvement with an increase in ferrite content in the composites. Impedance analysis of the samples highlighted the influence of grain and grain boundary effects on the electrical properties. Photoluminescence studies revealed a decrease in PL intensity as the ferrite content increased. FTIR analysis confirmed the connectivity and interfacial interactions between the two parent ferroic phases within the composites. These findings underscore the significance of the prepared materials for potential device applications.
