Similiarity - Magnetic properties of nanomagnetic material based on BaTiO3 and BiFeO3 with variation of temperatures and times of sintering

Abstract

This research uses basic compound of BaTiO3 (BTO) and single phase multiferroic material BiFeO3 (BFO) with weight ratio of BTO: BFO = 2: 1 to produce multiferoic ceramic. The purpose of this research is to know magnetic properties of the ceramic which consists of BFO multiferroic material combined with BTO electrical material. Changes in magnetic properties will affect the quality of multiferroic materials. The process used sol-gel method using temperature and time of calcination of 350o C and 4 hours, then sintered at 700,750 and 800o C for 2, 4 and 6 hours respectively. The sample was characterized by XRD test with diffraction angle of 20o -100o and the machine was made in Phillips type of PW 1835. This test is to know types of phases. To know magnetic properties of sample, it was used Permagraph test. To know particle size, it was used Particle Size Measurement from Nano Instrument of Beckman Coulter DelsaTM. The results show that new phase is formed which is the dominant phase, Barium Bismuth Iron (III) Oxide (BaBiFe2O5) with the largest percentage (98,79%) obtained at sintering process with temperature of 750o C for 6 hours. Increasing the percentage of dominant phases is linier by increasing of magnetic properties of the sample. The highest value of magnetic properties among other coercivity of 247.1 kA / m, remanent of 0.275 Tesla and Saturation of 0.41 Tesla belongs to ceramic with condition of sintering temperature and time of 750o C and 6 hours . The smallest particle size is also obtained under the same conditions equal to the particle size of 54-57 nm.
