Ferroelectric/ferromagnetic multiphase powdered composites, consisting of PbTiO3 as ferroelectric
phase and NiFe2O4 (PbFe12O19) as ferromagnetic phase, were successfully prepared in situ by
sol-gel process. The phase structure, morphology and magnetism properties were observed. Biphase
powdered ME composite consisting of PbTiO3 and NiFe2O4 is obtained at 700oC. Triphase composite
consisting of PbTiO3, NiFe2O4 and PbFe12O19 is obtained above 750oC. With increasing heat-treatment
temperature, the particles combine more tightly and the particle size decreases. The saturation magnetization
(σs) and the initial permeability (μi) increase with the increase of NiFe2O4 content. The coercive
force (Hc) increases with the increase of PbFe12O19 content.
