Multiferroic Heterostructure

The low frequency magnetic field detection ability of magnetoresistive (MR)sensor is seriously affected by 1/f noise. At present, the method to suppress the influence of low frequency noise is mainly to modulate the measured magnetic field by mechanical resonance. In this paper, a novel modulation concept employing a magnetoelectric coupling effect is proposed. A design method of modulation structure based on an equivalent magnetic circuit model (EMCM) and a single domain model of in-plane moment was established. An EMCM was established to examine the relationship between the permeability of flux modulation film (FMF) and modulation efficiency, which was further verified through a finite element simulation model (FESM). Then, the permeability modulated by the voltage of a ferroelectric/ferromagnetic (FE/FM) multiferroic heterostructure was theoretically studied. Combining these studies, the modulation structure and the material were further optimized, and a FeSiBPC/PMN-PT sample was prepared. Experimental results show that the actual magnetic susceptibility modulation ability of FeSiBPC/PMN-PT reached 150 times, and is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. A theoretical modulation efficiency higher than 73% driven by a voltage of 10 V in FeSiBPC/PMN-PT can be obtained. These studies show a new concept for magnetoelectric coupling application, and establish a new method for magnetic field modulation with a multiferroic heterostructure.

Measurement Limit

The purpose of this study was to measure the low-frequency noise and basic performance of a commercial magnetoimpedance (MI) sensor at sub-millihertz frequencies for use in space missions. Normally, space missions require measuring very weak magnetic fields with a long integration time, such as the space gravitational wave detection mission requiring sub-millihertz frequencies. We set up a platform for measuring the performance on this MI sensor, including low-frequency noise, measurement limit, linearity, and temperature stability. The results show that the low-frequency noise of the MI sensor is below 10 nT/√Hz at 1 mHz and below 100 nT/√Hz at 0.1 mHz; its measurement limit is 600 pT. The MI sensor is characterized by high precision, small size, and low noise, demonstrating considerable potential for application in magnetically sensitive experiments requiring long integration time. This is an effect way to solve the problem that there is on one suitable magnetic sensor at space magnetic field detection, but the sensor requires improvements in temperature stability.
