Abstract
        Nontoxic lead
free magnetoelectric composites NiFe2O4/0.948(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-0.052LiSbO3 (NFO/KNN) with different NFO content were successfully prepared by a solid state reaction method. The dependence of ferroelectric, ferromagnetic
properties and magnetoelectric coupling on NFO phase content was studied. The results show that the N F O content
significantly affects the ferroelectric, ferromagnetic properties and ME effects. The ME behaviors are strongly dependent on
the dc bias magnetic field. The ME voltage coefficients increase initially with the increase in dc magnetic fields and then
decrease with further increase in the fields. A maximum magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 5.59 mV·cm−1·Oe−1 is
observed from the composite with 15 mol% NFO at the frequency of 1 kHz..
