Abstract

Magnetoelectric interactions in bilayers of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases are mediated by mechanical deformation. This work is concerned with the theory and companion data for magnetoelectric (ME) coupling at electromechanical resonance (EMR) in the layered samples. Estimated ME voltage coefficient versus frequency profiles for nickel, cobalt, or lithium ferrite and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) predict a giant ME effect at EMR with the highest coupling expected for cobalt ferrite-PZT. There is excellent agreement between the theory and data for layered nickel ferrite-PZT; the ME voltage coefficient at resonance increases by a factor of 40 compared to low frequency values. Similar measurements on layered ferromagnetic alloy-PZT and bulk ferrite-PZT reveal even a stronger EMR assisted enhancement in ME coupling.
