“…In these systems, the high conversion energy coefficient between electric and magnetic fields (ME effect) is directly dependent on the high electric resistivity, high saturation magnetization (Ms) and high magnetostrictive coefficient of the magnetic phase, as well as the chemical stability of the magnetic phases 8,9 . Me-ferrites in polycrystalline form may be obtained by several preparation methods, such as solid state reaction, co-precipitation, mechano-chemical, combustion, or sol-gel [10][11][12][13] . However, variations in synthesis conditions such as sintering time, temperature, atmosphere and thermal annealing will influence final composition and grain size 13,14 .…”
