Abstract

Nanocomposites containing nanocrystals of Te2NiMnO6 were synthesized by suitable heat treatment of a glass with composition 2 TeO2·NiO·MnO (molar ratio). The crystallites had dimensions in the range 17-41 nm. X-ray diffraction data of the specimens were analyzed by using a TREOR computer programme. Lattice parameters extracted by this method indicated that the crystal symmetry was monoclinic. The nanocomposites exhibited weak ferromagnetism in the temperature range 2-300 K. They also showed ferroelectric hysteresis at room temperature with a remanent polarization of 0.015 μC/cm2. The specimens showed a magnetodielectric (MD) behavior with dielectric constant increasing as a function of applied magnetic field. The MD parameter obtained in the present system was 0.55%.
