Magneto-dielectric laminated Ba(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3-Bi0.2Y2.8Fe5O12 composites with high dielectric constant and high permeability

Magneto-dielectric laminated ceramic composites of xBa(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3-(1-x)Bi0.2Y2.8Fe5O12(BFN-BYIG) with high volume fractions of the giant dielectric constant material BFN (x=10, 30, 50, 70 wt%) were fabricated by the solid-state sintering method. Microstructure, dielectric and magnetic properties of the composites were investigated. The composites possess stable dielectric properties in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. The maximum permeability of the magneto-dielectric laminated composites reaches up to about 25. And the magnetic behaviors are strongly dependent on the mass ratio of BYIG. The results indicate that such multilayer structures of BFN/BYIG can enhance the permeability and decrease the dielectric and magnetic loss efficiently.
