Abstract:
In this work, the influence of the synthesis methods of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive phases on the final properties of the Bi0.5(Na0.8K0.2)0.5TiO3-Ni0.5Co0.5Fe2O4 composites was studied. Different routes were used to individually synthesize each phase, and the composites were prepared using different fractions for each phase. Composites were sintered, and the structural, microstructural, dielectric, and magnetoelectric properties were evaluated. According to the selected synthesis method employed for each phase, different particle sizes and reactivities of the individual phases were obtained. These differences determined the suitable sintering temperature for each set of composites and were responsible for the final properties. In fact, magnetoelectric properties were modulated by the combination of composition and synthesis routes.

Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets....
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
