Abstract
The magnetoelectric (ME) effect is beginning to be extensively studied. However, the main issue in the design of new ME devices is the evaluation and selection of the ME composite and the calculation of its ME voltage coefficients. As the calculation of ME voltage coefficients based on the generalized Hooke's law is a laborious task, the well-known method of nomograms is presented to simplify it. To attract the further interest of researchers in this field toward the nomogram method, this article presents a detailed method to obtain the ME voltage coefficients of two ME composites: nickel spinel (NFO)–lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and Terfenol-D–piezoquartz (X-cut) in the low-frequency range and the longitudinal mode of electromechanical resonance (EMR). The results confirm that the nomogram method, in contrast to the general method, allows a quicker and easier determination of the ME voltage coefficients with considerable accuracy.
