Structural and Dielectric Properties of Microwave Processed PZT-NZF Composite

Abstract: For present work, we are reporting a study on structural and dielectric properties of lead zirconate titanate and nickel zinc ferrite (PZT-NZF) composite having compositional formula 0.9PbZr0.65Ti0.35O3 – 0.1Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 synthesized by solid state reaction route using microwave sintering. The composite sample was sintered at 1150oC for 10 minutes. The presence of two phases (PZT and NZF) was confirmed by using x-ray diffraction technique. Experimental density of sintered pellet was calculated using Archimedes principle. Dielectric properties were studied as a function of temperature (35-500oC) at 1, 10 & 100 kHz frequency and function of frequency (100 Hz- 1 MHz) at room temperature. Keywords: Dielectric; Diffraction; Ferroelectric; Ferrite; microwave.
