Photoinduced spectra for magneto electric (1-x)BiFeO₃-xCuFe₂O₄ nanocomposites

Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate possibility to use spectra of the parametrically tuned laser beam for operation by magnetoelectric properties of the (1-x)BiFeO(3-)(x)CuFe(2)O(4) (BFCI). The role of the photoexcited wavelength is crucial due to photoexcited phonons. It may indicate on a spectral sensitivity of the studied nanocomposites. We have studied spectral dependences of magneto-electric constant versus the magnetic field frequency for different sizes of the nanoparticles with and without the nanosecond laser pulses illumination and we have shown an occurrence of principal spectral shifts in the corresponding magneto-electric maxima. Additionally we have explored relative changes of dielectric permittivity and coercivity versus different photoinducing wavelengths. The performed experiments unambiguously show that the external laser treatment will lead to substantial shift of corresponding dielectric and magnetic parameters in the studied nanocomposites. It is principally the finding of clear spectral dependences for the mentioned dielectric and magnetic parameters. One can see their sensitivity to the photoinduced wavelength which reflects the photoexcitations of different part of wavelengths. One can see the spectral shift up to 100 nm for the two principal spectral maxima with respect to the dielectric and magnetic changes which may indicate on the two principally different contributions to the effects observed.
