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) NiCo0.02Cu0.02Mn0.1Fe1.8O4−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 gij (PZT-36, PZTNB-1) exhibit the most prominent magnetoelectric coupling efficiency. Decrease in the linear size of repeating fragment lΣ also contributes to an increase in Δ E/Δ H coefficient. Given other conditions being equal, 1-1 type composites commonly exhibit the highest values of magnetoelectric coefficient. Maximal values of magnetoelectric coefficient Δ E/Δ H for 0.5 PZT-36 + 0.5 NiCo0.02Cu0.02Mn0.1Fe1.8O4−δ magnetoelectric heterostructures reach ∼500 mV/(cm·Oe) at a frequency of 1 kHz.

A new way for determining the magnetostriction characteristics of a composite multiferroics using the magnetoelectric response of the structure is proposed. It is shown that integral from the field dependency of linear magnetoelectric coefficient is the magnetostriction characteristic of the structure. The results of an experimental study of the physical properties of bulk composites based on lead zirconate titanate and ferrite-nickel spinel are presented. Based on the field dependence of the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient, magnetostriction curves of composite structures with a content of ferrospinel of 10–70% were obtained.

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.

Uniformly porous and porosity-graded piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by sintering powder compacts consisting of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and organic material powders as pore-forming agents (PFA) in air atmosphere. The dielectric, elastic and piezoelectric properties of uniformly porous PZT ceramics were investigated as a function of the porosity volume fraction. The electric-field-induced deflection characteristics of the beam-shaped actuator samples were measured with electric strain gages, and compared with the values calculated from the modified classical laminate theory using the elastic and piezoelectric constants of the non-FGM porous PZT ceramics.

By using a elastic mechanics model the transverse magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of magnetostrictive-piezoelectric bilayer is derived according to the constitutive equations. The transverse magnetoelectric coupling of nickel zinc ferrite-lead zirconate titanate (Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4–Pb (Zr,Ti)O3, NZFO-PZT) layered composites were calculated by using the corresponding material parameters of individual phases. NZFO samples have been synthesized with sol–gel technique. Layered composites NZFO-PZT and NZFO-PZT-NZFO have been fabricated by binding discs of NZFO and commercially available PZT, and the transverse magnetoelectric effect have been investigated. The peak value of transverse magnetoelectric voltage coefficient for NZFO-PZT-NZFO trilayer reaches 252.4 mV/cmOe under a bias magnetic field of about 320 Oe, which is about three times as large as that of NZFO-PZT bilayer. The interface coupling parameter of trilayer is significantly higher than that of bilayer.

The microelectromechanical systems invade gradually the market with applications in many sectors of activity. Developing these micro-systems allows deploying wireless sensor networks that are useful to collect, process and transmit information from their environments without human intervention. In order to keep these micro-devices energetically autonomous without using batteries because they have a limited lifespan, an energy harvesting from ambient vibrations using electrostrictive polymers can be used. These polymers present best features against inorganic materials, as flexibility and low cost. The aims of this paper are manifold. First of all, we made elaboration of the polyurethane/lead zirconate titanate films of 100 µm thickness using a lead zirconate titanate–volume fraction of [Formula: see text]%. Therefore, we did an observation of the lead zirconate titanate grains dispersion and the electrical characterization of the polyurethane–50 vol% lead zirconate titanate composites. Finally, a detailed study of the electromechanical transduction, for the polyurethane–50 vol% lead zirconate titanate unpolarized and polarized composites sustained to the sinusoidal mechanical strain with amplitude of 1.5% and at very low frequencies ( f = 2 [Hz] and f = 4 [Hz]) and static electric field ( Edc = 10 [ V/µm]) or without it ( Edc = 0 [ V/µm]) has been presented.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) – Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is a polymer composite that is becoming increasingly popular in micro-scale sensors and actuators because of its unique properties such as high flexibility, low density and high piezoelectric constants. However, lead-based piezoceramics, despite their superior properties, are toxic and are known to damage the environment, and as such a conscientious effort is being made by the scientific community towards replacing lead-containing piezoceramics with environmentally-friendlier and lead-free piezoceramics. Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) is one such piezoceramics that is widely studied today to be a potential replacement of PZT in many applications. As such, in this work, effort has been made to predict the effective mechanical, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PVDF-BaTiO3 composite system using Finite Element Method (FEM). Kinematic Uniform Boundary Conditions (Displacement and Voltage) are used for this analysis. For evaluation of the effective material constants of the composite, several types of representative volume elements are considered. The effects of volume fraction, effect of the size of the micro-particles i.e. mono-modal versus multi-modal size distribution, effect of periodic versus quasi-random distribution of microparticles in the matrix, the effect of clustering of the particles, effect of orientation of the microparticles i.e. unidirectional or randomly oriented are discussed. Finally, a comparison of properties between PVDF-PZT and PVDF-BaTiO3 is made, so as to see whether PVDF-BaTiO3 can be a potential replacement for PVDF-PZT composite.

The nature of magnetoelectric (ME) interactions has been investigated in lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and (111) or (110) single-crystal nickel zinc ferrites. Data on the dependence of low-frequency ME voltage coefficients on static magnetic field orientation show (i) highest ME coefficients for bias field H along [100] and the smallest for H parallel to [110] and (ii) strongest ME interactions for transverse fields and for samples with Zn concentration of 0.3. Measurements on frequency dependence of ME coefficients reveal resonance enhancement due to bending and radial acoustic modes. The highest voltage coefficient is measured for radial modes in a sample with Zn concentration of 0.2. Theoretical estimates of low-frequency and resonance ME parameters are in very good agreement with data.

In the present work, piezoelectric composite films made of Polyaniline (PAni) coated Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) particles immersed into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix were characterized by mechanical tests, and the connectivity of the composite sample was determined using dielectric measurements and applying the Poon–Shin model. The composite was considered a binary system with coated PZT particles as one phase and the polymer matrix the other one. To support the result obtained from theoretical analysis, scanning electron microscopy of the composites were done. It was observed a decrease up to 85% on the mechanical resistance when the ceramic volume fraction increases from 0% to 40%. Furthermore, the composite film no longer can be considered with 0–3 connectivity when the ceramic content is 30 vol.% or over.

Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in the composites is mediated by the mechanical stress and one would expect orders of magnitude stronger coupling when the frequency of the ac field is tuned to acoustic mode frequencies in the sample than at non-resonance frequencies. A model is presented for the increase in ME coupling in magnetostrictive-piezoelectric bilayers for the longitudinal, radial, and bending modes in the electromechanical resonance region. We solved the equation of medium motion taking into account the magnetostatic and elastostatic equations, constitutive equations, Hooke's law, and boundary conditions. We estimated the ME voltage coefficient for direct ME effect and ME susceptibility for inverse ME coupling. The frequency dependence of the ME voltage coefficient and ME susceptibility reveals a resonance character in the electromechanical resonance region. Then we considered ME interaction in the magneto-acoustic resonance region at the coincidence of electromechanical and magnetic resonance. Variation in the piezomagnetic coefficient with static magnetic field for magnetic layer results in a dependence of ME voltage on applied bias magnetic field. As an example, we considered specific cases of cobalt ferrite or yttrium-ferrum garnet - lead zirconate titanate and nickel/permendur - lead zirconate titanate bilayers. Estimated values of ME voltage coefficient versus frequency profiles are in agreement with data.
