The ferrite-ferroelectric magnetoelectric (ME) composites with composition (1-x) Ni0.5Cu0.3Zn0.2Fe2O4+ (x) BaTiO3 in which x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 mol were prepared by conventional ceramic solid state reaction. The magnetoelectric (ME) composite possess two coupled order parameter in the same material and gives ME effect with variation of magnetic field changes and vice versa. In the present work an attempt is made to prepare ME composite materials consisting ferroelectric phase as a BaTiO3 and ferrite phase as Ni0.5Cu0.3Zn0.2Fe2O4. The presence of constituent phases in the composites was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. The dielectric measurements of the composites carried out HP LCR meter/ Impedance analyzer at room temperature in the range 1Hz-1MHz. It is found that as ferroelectric composition in the composite increases the dielectric properties also increases because ferroelectrics posses high dielectric properties than ferrite.
