Abstract

BaFe0.5Ta0.5O3ceramics has been successfully prepared by a solid state reaction method and structural analysis revealed that single perovskite phase was obtained in the ceramic sample. Room temperature magnetodielectric and magnetoimpedance properties of ceramics were investigated. Variations in the dielectric permittivity, loss tangent and impedance were evident. This confirms that a room temperature magnetoelectric effect can be obtained in BaFe0.5Ta0.5O3 ceramics. Also, a higher grain boundary contribution than a grain contribution in the magnetoelectric effect was confirmed. The magnetoelectric voltage response as a function of Hbias suggested a room temperature nonlinear magnetoelectric coupling in BaFe0.5Ta0.5O3 ceramic.
