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.

To investigate the mechanism of self-bias magnetoelectric effect in magnetoelectric composite materials, a synchronous characterization technique was developed to characterize the magnetoelectric effect, the magnetostrictive effect, and the magnetic hysteresis loop by one-time test. The results of a magnetoelectric composite consisting of hybrid ferromagnetic phases showed that the obvious magnetoelectric hysteresis behavior was found with significant self-bias magnetoelectric effect. In addition, after demagnetizing, the residual magnetic polarization became zero and the magnetoelectric effect disappeared at the same time. Since the ferromagnetic phases were separated from each other, the mechanism of self-bias magnetoelectric effect mainly resulted from static magnetic coupling instead of build-in magnetic field. It was concluded that the synchronous characterizing technique was quite helpful when analyzing the mechanism of magnetoelectric behavior.

Paper shows study on the magnetoelectric composite material placed in an external magnetic field with changing magnetic field vecotr. An experimental setup for investigation of magnetoelectric properties of magnetostrictive-piezoelectric material was prepared. The hybrid structure is made of magnetostrictive composite (based on Terfenol-D) and piezoelectric material. Experimental results shown the response of prepared hybrid material to the rate of changes of direction of magnetic field vector. Investigation were mainly focused on possibility of generating of electric power from prepared material. It was found that the prepared hybrid material exhibits magnetoelectric effect in the case of work when direction of magnetic field vector was changing. This effect might be use in Energy Harvesting applications.

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.

Magnetoelectric effect in multiferroic materials is widely studied for its fundamental interest and practical applications. The magnetoelectric effect observed for single phase materials like Cr2O3, BiFeO3, Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3is usually small. A much larger effect can be obtained in composites consisting of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases. This paper investigates the magnetostrictive and magnetoelectric properties of nickel ferrite Ni0.3Zn0.62Cu0.08Fe2O4- relaxor Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3bulk composites. The magnetic properties of composites shows a dependence typical of such composite materials, i.e. it consists of a dominating signal from ferrimagnetic phase (ferrite) and a weak signal from paramagnetic (antiferromagnetic) phase (relaxors). Magnetoelectric effect at room temperature was investigated as a function of static magnetic field (300-7200 Oe) and frequency (10 Hz-10 kHz) of sinusoidal modulation magnetic field. The magnetoelectric effect increase slightly before reaching a maximum at HDC= 750 Oe and then decrease. The magnetoelectric coefficient increases continuously as frequency is raised, although this increase is less pronounced in the 1-10 kHz range.

The paper reports on bulk and layered multiferroic composites based on cobalt ferrite and lead iron tantalate-lead titanate solid solution. Syntheses of CoFe2O4 and Pb(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3 were performed by conventional solid state reactions. 0.5CoFe2O4–0.425Pb(Fe1/2Ta1/2)O3-0.075PbTiO3 bulk composites were prepared by sintering at 900°C. Multilayer composites were fabricated by tape casting, stacking and lamination of alternate ferrite and relaxor layers, followed by cosintering at 950°C. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopic observations confirm that the obtained ceramic samples are composed of ferrite spinel and relaxor perovskite phases. Impedance spectroscopic studies carried out in the temperature range 218-623 K at frequencies 10 Hz–2 MHz show high and broad maxima of dielectric permittivity. On the basis of investigations of magnetization versus magnetic field (up to 85 kOe) and temperature (4-400 K), the behavior typical of hard magnetic materials was found for CF-PFT-PT composites. The measurements carried out at room temperature as a function of the external dc magnetic field and frequency of the sinusoidal ac modulation field, reveal a distinct magnetoelectric effect of the investigated bulk and layered composites.

Polymer-based magnetoelectric composite materials have attracted a lot of attention due to their high potential in various types of applications as magnetic field sensors, energy harvesting, and biomedical devices. Current researches are focused on the increase in the efficiency of magnetoelectric transformation. In this work, a new strategy of arrangement of clusters of magnetic nanoparticles by an external magnetic field in PVDF and PFVD-TrFE matrixes is proposed to increase the voltage coefficient (αME) of the magnetoelectric effect. Another strategy is the use of 3-component composites through the inclusion of piezoelectric BaTiO3 particles. Developed strategies allow us to increase the αME value from ~5 mV/cm·Oe for the composite of randomly distributed CoFe2O4 nanoparticles in PVDF matrix to ~18.5 mV/cm·Oe for a composite of magnetic particles in PVDF-TrFE matrix with 5%wt of piezoelectric particles. The applicability of such materials as bioactive surface is demonstrated on neural crest stem cell cultures.

This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of (Bi0.48Sb1.52)Te3 thick films using a tape casting process on glass substrates. A slurry of thermoelectric (Bi0.48Sb1.52)Te3 was developed and cured thick films were annealed in a vacuum chamber at 500–600 °C. The microstructure of these films was analyzed, and the Seebeck coefficient and electric conductivity were tested. It was found that the subsequent annealing process must be carefully designed to achieve good thermoelectric properties of these samples. Conductive films were obtained after annealing and led to acceptable thermoelectric performance. While the properties of these initial materials are not at the level of bulk materials, this work demonstrates that the low-cost tape casting technology is promising for fabricating thermoelectric modules for energy conversion.

AbstractThe organic magnetoelectric complexes are beneficial for the development on flexible magnetoelectric devices in the future. In this work, we fabricated all organic multiferroic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complexes to study magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature. Under the stimulus of external magnetic field, the localization of charge inside organic ferromagnets will be enhanced to affect spin–dipole interaction at organic multiferroic interfaces, where overall ferroelectric polarization is tuned to present an organic magnetoelectric coupling. Moreover, the magnetoelectric coupling of the organic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complex is tightly dependent on incident light intensity. Decreasing light intensity, the dominated interfacial interaction will switch from spin–dipole to dipole–dipole interaction, which leads to the magnetoelectric coefficient changing from positive to negative in organic multiferroic magnetoelectric complexes.
