Abstract

In this project, it is proposed the synthesis, densification, and analysis of microstructural, structural, dielectric and magnetoelectric properties of magnetoelectric multiferroic ceramics based on (1-x)Pb(Fe1/2,Nb1/2)O3-(x)PbTiO3 (PFN-xPT) near the Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB). With this objective, it is proposed the synthesis of PFN-xPT powders and the maximization of the densification of PFN-xPT bulk ceramics, for 0.10
