Effect of sintering temperature on magnetoelectric properties of barium ferrite ceramics

Graphical abstract: The effect of sintering temperature on the multiferroic properties of hexagonal barium ferrite (BaM) ceramics was studied. The ferroelectric and magnetic hysteresis loops of the ceramics indicate the room temperature multiferroic properties of the prepared ceramics. The effect of leakage current on ferroelectric properties of ceramics was also studied. It lays a foundation for the study of single-phase multiferroic materials at room temperature.
