Abstract

The last two decades have witnessed an ever‐increasing research effort devoted to the development and application of magnetoelectric (ME) sensing composites. Herein, the ME effect in a metallic/polymeric composite fabricated by adhering silver electrodes to two surfaces of one poly(vinylidine fluoride) (PVDF) disk is explored. To obtain obvious ME response, the resonance frequency of the experimental setup is measured. Furthermore, it is proved that the ME coupling in the composite (silver/PVDF/silver) originates from the product effect of the piezoelectric effect and ampere force produced by eddy currents under DC bias magnetic fields. By observing measurement results, the ME voltage is approximately considered to be proportional to both AC and DC magnetic fields. Consequently, the average ME voltage coefficient is obtained as 384.73 mV cm−1 Oe at a DC magnetic field value of 1000 Oe. Considering the magnetic fields and eddy current, a theoretical model of ME coupling is developed by combining the ampere force expression and piezoelectric equations, which matches well with measurement results. Without the need of magnetic phase and an external power supply, the proposed disk with excellent linear responses and a considerable ME voltage coefficient has the potential for application in real‐time monitoring sensors.
