In the composite samples the ratio of the ferroelectromagnetic/ferroelectric powder to the magnetic powder was equal to 90:10. The ceramic powders were synthesized by the classical technological method using powder calcination/solid state synthesis, while densification of the composite powders (sintering) was carried by two different methods: (i) Free Sintering method (FS), and (ii) Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). At the work, a comparison of measurement results for composite samples obtained by two sintering methods was made. The studies included the following analysis: DTA, XRD, SEM, DC electrical conductivity, electric permittivity and magnetic properties. The result of measurements presented in the work revealed that the ceramic composite obtained by two different technological sintering method (classical technology – Free Sintering method and Spark Plasma Sintering technique) can be promising lead-free materials for functional applications, for example in sensors for magnetic and electric field.}, type={Article}, title={Electrophysical Properties of the Multiferroic BFN-Ferrite Composites Obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering and Classical Technology}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116060/PDF/AMM-2020-2-37-Niemiec.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.132823}, keywords={Multiferroic composites, BFN ceramics, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)}, }
