Synthesis of High Throughput Multiferroic Nanocomposite for using Sol-Gel Process

Multiferroic ceramic thin films are important for their application in electro-optic, computer memories, smart sensors, and high frequency microelectronic devices. Coexistence of magnetism and ferroelectricity in ordered thin films offers additional degree of freedom for the said applications. In the present work we have synthesized La_0.65Sr_0.35MnO₃ (LSMO)/Pb_0.85La_0.15TiO₃ (PLT15) composite thin films by sol-gel technique. The volume content of LSMO was maintained in 3: 7 ratio in PLT15 matrix. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction reveal the microstructure and phases in the films. Vibrating sample magnetometer, ferroelectric test unit were used to characterize magnetic and dielectric properties of LSMO-PLT composite film.
