Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) effects in a heterostructure consisting of mechanically coupled layers of amorphous ferromagnet FeBSiC and electrostrictive lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) ceramics are observed and investigated. Magnetoelectric characteristics of the structure strongly differ from those of the ferromagnetic-piezoelectric one. The FeBSiC-PMN-PT structure did not show the direct ME effect under excitation with an alternating magnetic field. For the converse ME effect, when the structure was excited with alternating electric fields, the frequency doubling and mixing of electric fields frequencies were observed. Nonlinear ME effects arise due to the nonlinear electrostrictive strain vs electric field dependence. Efficiency of nonlinear ME conversion is proportional to the piezomagnetic coefficient of the ferromagnetic layer, nonlinear electrostriction coefficient of the electrostrictive layer, and amplitudes of the excitation fields. A theory for nonlinear ME effects in the ferromagnet-electrostrictor heterostructures was developed.
