Study of magnetic properties and magnetoelectric effect in (x) Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4+(1−x)PZT composites

► AC susceptibility measurement shows SD particles of the ferrite phase and mixed (SD+MD) particles in the composites. ► Maximum ME voltage coefficient of 0.84 mV/cm Oe was observed 15 % of ferrite phase and 85 % of ferroelectric phase in composites. ► These composites are useful in preparing ME devices as they show better ME voltage coefficients.
