Investigation of the influence of various factors on the dielectric,piezoelectric,and magnetoelectric properties of 1-3,3-1,and 1-1 multiferroic composites

Abstract

Technique to fabricate magnetoelectric piezoelectric/magnetostrictive ferrite composites with 1-3, 3-1, 1-1 connectivities through binding uniformed by size and package ceramic elements was developed. Advantage of this technique is the use of piezoceramic which was previously poled under optimal conditions; this is important, because piezoelectric phase embedded in magnetoelectric composite is difficult to pole due to the high electrical conductivity of adjacent ferrite phase. The effect of piezoelectric material type, volume ratio of phases, and linear size of repeating fragment on the dielectric, piezoelectric, and magnetoelectric properties of ν PZT + (1−ν) NiCo_0.02Cu_0.02Mn_0.1Fe_1.8O_4−δ (v – volume fraction of piezoelectric, PZT – commercial grades of lead–zirconate–titanate such as PZT-36, PZTNB-1, PZTST-2, PZTTBS-2, PZT-19) composites is studied. It is shown that, with an equal volume ratio of phases, composites based on piezoceramics with high piezoelectric voltage coefficient g_ij (PZT-36, PZTNB-1) exhibit the most prominent magnetoelectric coupling efficiency. Decrease in the linear size of repeating fragment l_Σ also contributes to an increase in ΔE/ΔH coefficient. Given other conditions being equal, 1-1 type composites commonly exhibit the highest values of magnetoelectric coefficient. Maximal values of magnetoelectric coefficient ΔE/ΔH for 0.5 PZT-36 + 0.5 NiCo_0.02Cu_0.02Mn_0.1Fe_1.8O_4−δ magnetoelectric heterostructures reach ∼500 mV/(cm·Oe) at a frequency of 1 kHz.
