Electrical and magnetic response of a phosphate glass – NiFe2O4 composite : a novel magnetic sensor design

Abstract

NiFe2O4 spinel – phosphate (Bi-Ba-Li) glass composite was synthesized by solid-state reaction. New crystalline magnetic phases was developed inside the glassy matrix through a controlled heat treatment. New NF-LBPB4 magnetic nanocomposite material was study. Complex impedance analysis has shown that mobile ions inside the matrix induce the development of complementary crystalline phases resulting in a composite material with excellent magnetic response. An innovative homemade device was designed to test the nanocomposite magnetic response.
