Abstract

Measured results of magnetoelectric (ME) and converse magnetoelectric (CME) effects of Tb x Dy1−x Fe2−y /Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)(1−x)TixO3/TbxDy1−x Fe2−y (TD/PMNT/TD) and PMNT/TD/PMNT laminated composites are presented. ME effect was determined by measuring laminate voltage output under a Helmholtz-generated AC field biased by a DC field (0–1 kOe) (1 Oe = 79.58 A/m). The CME effect was measured by recording the voltage induced in a solenoid encompassing the ME sample while exposed to a DC bias field and PMNT layer driven by a 10 V AC source. The ME and CME responses in the two laminated structure are linear. The highest values of ME coefficients in TD/PMNT/TD and PMNT/TD/PMNT composites are 384 mV/Oe and 158 mV/Oe, respectively, while the highest values of CME coefficients in the two composites are 118 mG/V and 162 mG/V (1 G=10−4 T), respectively.
