摘要
We have studied the magnetic field effect on low frequency dielectric properties of Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3/polyvinylidene fluoride nanocomposite with 22.5% volume fraction of Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 nanoparticles. A strong magnetodielectric response was observed below 120 K where Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 nanoparticles show the magnetic phase transition indicating a direct correlation between magnetism and dielectric properties. A large change in the dielectric permittivity similar to 30% has been observed in a magnetic field of 4.6 T with loss as low as 0.17 at 70 K. The observed magnetodielectric response has been attributed to the decrement of polaron activation barrier of Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 nanoparticles with the increase in magnetic field.
