Ferromagnetic and large magnetoresistance (MR) nanocomposites of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3-BaTiO3 (LSMO-BTO) are synthesized via sol-gel route. The X-ray diffraction confirms the existence of two chemically separated phases in the composites. The maximum MR (35%) was achieved in LSMO-5% BTO (LB5). The coupling between the coexisting phases is observed from the dielectric anomaly at the ferromagnetic transition (Tc = 353 K) for LB5 composition. We observed maximum magnetodielectric effect at Tc of 1.18% in magnitude for LB5 and the effect of magnetic field on other composites was significant. These results are related to the large spin polarization within grains as well as at the grain boundaries and the evidence of variation in dielectric parameters with magnetic field reveal the magnetoelectric coupling in LSMO-BTO nanocomposites. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
