Abstract
Longitudinal magnetoelectric (ME) effect has been studied in a clamping structure of a magnetostrictive TbDyFe (Terfenol-D), a piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3(PZT) ceramic ring. The ME coupling originates from the magnetic-mechanical-electric transform of the magnetostrictive effect in Terfenol-D and the piezoelectric effect in PZT by endpoint bonding, without adhesive layer. In such a clamping structure, Large induced voltage was measured without amplifier, Large longitudinal ME coefficient of 0.12V cm-1Oe-1was obtained at f =1 kHz, which is about 3 times larger than transverse ME coefficient of conventional layered Terfenol-D/PZT composites under the same measuring conditions. The ME coefficient reaches a maximum value at the dc bias magnetic field (Hdc) =280 Oe, which is lower than Hdc =350 Oe in conventional layered composites. The results show that large ME coupling can be achieved without adhesive layer, and longitudinal ME effect can be better than transverse ME effect.
