Magnetoelectric anisotropy was researched in a disc laminate composite. The magnetoelectric coefficient exhibits a cosine characteristic with the angle between the direction of dc bias magnetic field [Formula: see text] and small ac sine magnetic signal [Formula: see text], no matter how [Formula: see text] rotates. Correspondingly, there are only two values of phase shift when the angle varies from 0 to 360[Formula: see text]. These two phase shifts only depend on [Formula: see text] mapping on [Formula: see text], i.e., sign of dot product of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] [Sgn([Formula: see text])], implying that [Formula: see text]cos[Formula: see text] produces charge through the magnetoelectric effect. Then, a simple device was proposed to detect the magnitude and direction of ac magnetic field.

A capacitor system based on a Terfenol-D rod and an electret film has been proposed. We used the traditional dynamic measurement to investigate the magnetoelectric effect of the system at the frequency of 50 kHz. The results show that the ME coefficient of the system is significantly affected by the DC bias magnetic field. The maximum tunability of the magnetoelectric effect based on the DC bias magnetic field is more than 10%. The induced AC voltage of effective values increases almost lineally with increasing AC signal magnetic field. The detected magnetoelectric effect of the system exhibits hysteresis, and the magnetoelectric hysteresis loops are almost unchanged with the test period. These findings provide a type of capacitor for potential applications in magnetic detections and magnetoelectric sensors.

Abstract The magnetoelectric effect in multiferroic materials has been widely studied for its fundamental interest and practical applications. The magnetoelectric effect observed for single phase materials like Cr2O3, BiFeO3, and Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 is usually small. A much larger effect can be obtained in composites consisting of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases. This paper investigates the magnetoelectric effect of a multilayer (laminated) structure consisting of 6 nickel ferrite and 7 PFN relaxor layers. It describes the synthesis and tape casting process for Ni0.3Zn0.62Cu0.08Fe2O4 ferrite and relaxor PbFe0.5Nb0.5O3 (PFN). Magnetic hysteresis, ZFC - FC curves and dependencies of magnetization versus temperature for PFN relaxor and magnetoelectric composite were measured with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in an applied magnetic field up to 85 kOe at a temperature range of 10 – 400 K. Magnetoelectric effect at room temperature was investigated as a function of a static magnetic field (0.3 - 6.5 kOe) and the frequency of sinusoidal magnetic field (0.01 - 6.5 kHz). At lower magnetic field, the magnetoelectric coefficient increases slightly before reaching a maximum and then decreases. The magnetoelectric coefficient aME increases continuously as the frequency is raised, although this increase is less pronounced in the 1-6.5 kHz range. Maximum values of the magnetoelectric coefficient attained for the layered composites exceed about 50 mV/(Oe cm).

Temperature characteristics of resonant magnetoelectric effect in bilayer structures consisting of langatate, lead zirconate titanate, nickel, and amorphous ferromagnetic Metglas layers have been investigated. The measurements were performed in the temperature range of 150-400 K. The influence of the ferromagnetic and piezoelectric layer’s parameters on the temperature dependence of resonant frequency and magnetoelectric coefficient αE has been demonstrated. The results can be used to develop magnetoelectric magnetic field sensors.

We report on experimental studies focusing on the dynamic ac magnetic susceptibility of a ferronematic. It has been shown recently, that in the isotropic phase of a ferronematic, a weak dc bias magnetic field of a few oersteds increases the ac magnetic susceptibility. This increment vanishes irreversibly if the substance is cooled down to the nematic phase, but can be reinduced by applying the dc bias field again in the isotropic phase [Tomašovičová, N. et al. Soft Matter 2016, 12, 5780–5786]. The effect has no analogue in the neat host liquid crystal. Here, we demonstrate that by doubling the concentration of the magnetic nanoparticles, the range of the dc bias magnetic field to which the ferronematic is sensitive without saturation can be increased by about two orders of magnitude. This finding paves a way to application possibilities, such as low magnetic field sensors, or basic logical elements for information storage.

AbstractArrays of two-dimensional magnetic bubbles in thin garnet films undergo a hexatic-toliquid transition as a function of bubble density controlled by an applied spatially uniform dc bias magnetic field that opposes the magnetization in the bubbles. The phase transition is driven by topological point defects. The bubbles are observed directly using optical microscopy and digital imaging techniques. In the presence of a linear gradient in the dc bias magnetic field the hexatic-to-liquid transition occurs spatially in the direction of the gradient. As the system goes from hexatic to liquid, a continuous decrease in bubble density accompanied by a continuous disordering of the array is observed along the gradient direction. This continuous disordering persists even after the system is allowed to equilibrate for very long periods of time, indicating that the hexatic-to-liquid transition is continuous at equilibrium. Dynamics of topological defects observed in the gradient field correspond to those observed in the uniform field.
