Studies on structural, dielectric and magnetoelectric properties in CuFe1.8Cr0.2O4– Pb(Mg1/3V2/3)O3 composites

CuFe1.8Cr0.2O4–Pb(Mg1/3V2/3)O3 composites were prepared using a conventional ceramic double sintering process. The presence of both phases in the composites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. Variation of dielectric constant (ϵ′) with frequency in the range 100 Hz–1 MHz and also with temperature for four different frequencies (1 kHz, 10 kHz, 100 kHz, 1 MHz) was studied. The nature of the peaks indicate DPT type behaviour. The static value of magnetoelectric conversion factor, i.e., DC(ME)H has been studied as a function of intensity of the magnetic field. The maximum value of DC(ME)H was found to be 164.33 μV/cm/Oe for 70% ferrite phase.
