Development of BiFeO₃/MnFe₂O₄ ferrite nanocomposites with enhanced magnetic and electrical properties.

ABSTRACT: Herein we report the development of novel multiferroic nanocomposites for their enhanced magnetic and electrical properties by employing a simple cost-effective chemical process at low temperatures. Novel perovskite-mixed spinel nanocomposites of (1 - x)BiFeO₃/xMnFe₂O₄ where x = 0.1-0.5 have been prepared by a sol-gel auto-combustion technique. The calcination temperature was optimized and the phase formation of BiFeO₃/MnFe₂O₄ nanocomposites was confirmed from the X-ray diffraction patterns for the samples calcined at 500 °C for 2 h. The grain sizes have been found to vary from 60 to 90 nm. The vibrational modes of the prepared nanocomposites were studied using Raman spectroscopy and FESEM and EDX were u
