Effect of Chemical Composition on Magnetic and Electrical Properties of Ferroelectromagnetic Ceramic Composites.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, ferroelectric-ferrimagnetic ceramic composites based on multicomponent PZT-type (PbZr_1-xTi_xO₃-type) material and ferrite material with different percentages in composite compositions were obtained and studied. The ferroelectric component of the composite was a perovskite ceramic material with the chemical formula Pb_0.97Bi_0.02(Zr_0.51Ti_0.49)_0.98(Nb_2/3Mn_1/3)_0.02O₃ (P), whereas the magnetic component was nickel-zinc ferrite with the chemical formula Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ (F). The process of sintering the composite compounds was carried out by the free sintering method. Six ferroelectric-ferrimagnetic ceramic P-F composite compounds were designed and obtained with different percentages of its components, i.e., 90/10 (P90-F10), 85/15 (P85-F15), 80/20 (P80-F20), 60/40 (P60-F40), 40/60 (P40-F60), and 20/80 (P20-F80). X-ray diffraction patterns, microstructural, ferroelectric, dielectric, magnetic properties, and DC electrical conductivity of the composite materials were investigated. In this study, two techniques were used to image the microstructure of P-F composite samples: SB (detection of the signals from the secondary and backscattered electron detectors) and BSE (detection of backscattered electrons), which allowed accurate visualization of the presence and distribution of the magnetic and ferroelectric component in the volume of the composite samples. The studies have shown that at room temperature, the ceramic composite samples exhibit good magnetic and electrical properties. The best set of physical properties and performance of composite compositions have ceramic samples with a dominant phase of ferroelectric component and a small amount of the ferrite component (P90-F10). Such a composition retains the high ferroelectric properties of the ferroelectric component in the composite while also acquiring magnetic properties. These properties can be prospectively used in new types of memory and electromagnetic converters.

Project description:The article investigates electrically active ceramic composite of [Formula: see text] (HAP) and [Formula: see text] (BST) for biomedical applications. The study is a systematic blend of the materials science aspect of composites with a special focus on the dielectric and biological properties and their relationships. The article emphasized primarily extracting the dielectric constant ([Formula: see text] of the specimens (that lay in the range of 3-65) and related them to microstructural properties like the grain size and at.% of BST. A broad outlook on the importance of [Formula: see text] in determining the suitability of bioceramics for clinical applications is presented. Bioactivity analysis of the specimens led to probing the surface charges (that were negative), and it was found crucial to the growth of dense apatite layers. Furthermore, the cytocompatibility of the specimens displayed cell viability above 100% for Day 1, which increased substantially for Day 3. To reveal other biological properties of the composites, protein adsorption studies using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) was carried out. Electrostatic interactions govern the adsorption, and the mathematical dependence on surface charges is linear. The protein adsorption is also linearly correlated with the [Formula: see text], intrinsic to the biomaterials. We delve deeper into protein-biomaterials interactions by considering the evolution of the secondary structure of BSA adsorbed into the specimens. Based on the investigations, 20 at.% HAP-80 at.% BST (20H-80B) was established as a suitable composite comprising the desired features of HAP and BST. Such explorations of electrical and biological properties are interesting for modulating the behavior of bioceramic composites. The results project the suitability of 20H-80B for designing electrically active smart scaffolds for the proposed biomedical applications and are expected to incite further clinical trials.
