Compositional tuning of phase interaction and strong magnetoelectric response in SRM-LNFO ceramic composites.

ABSTRACT: A novel series of magnetoelectric composites (1 - x)SrFe₁₂O₁₉-xLa_0.5Nd_0.5FeO₃ (x = 0.00-1.00) was synthesized via a citrate-assisted sol-gel method to explore the interplay between structural evolution and multifunctional properties. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed phase coexistence with crystallite sizes increasing from 28 nm to 42 nm with rising perovskite content. Microstructural analysis showed particle sizes ranging from 0.19 µm to 0.54 µm, driven by compositional tuning of hexaferrite and perovskite phases. Mössbauer and XPS studies confirmed Fe³⁺ valence states and interfacial electronic interactions influencing magnetoelectric coupling. Magnetic characterization demonstra
