Nanodimentional Eu2O3 was developed inside the channels of silica with mesoporus structure, which have5 nm pore diameter. At room temperature, such nanocomposite showed a large magnetodielectric coefficient of around 70% upon application of magnetic field of 1 Tesla at a frequency 1 kHz. The dielectric loss was quite low in spite of the fact that Eu2O3 is conducting in nature. This was achieved because of a scarcely dispensed Eu2O3 species inside silica, which is highly resistive in nature. This method of nanocomposite formation gives rise to the fabrication of devices with high magnetodielectric coefficients.

Abstract


Nanodimentional Eu2O3 was developed inside the channels of silica with mesoporus structure, which have5 nm pore diameter. At room temperature, such nanocomposite showed a large magnetodielectric coefficient of around 70% upon application of magnetic field of 1 Tesla at a frequency 1 kHz. The dielectric loss was quite low in spite of the fact that Eu2O3 is conducting in nature. This was achieved because of a scarcely dispensed Eu2O3 species inside silica, which is highly resistive in nature. This method of nanocomposite formation gives rise to the fabrication of devices with high magnetodielectric coefficients.
