Tunable Fringe Magnetic Fields Induced By Converse Magnetoelectric Coupling In A Fega/Pmn-Pt Multiferroic Heterostructure, Trifon Fitchorov, Yajie Chen, Bolin Hu, Scott M. Gillette, Anton Geiler, Carmine Vittoria, Vincent G. Harris Aug 2013

Tunable Fringe Magnetic Fields Induced By Converse Magnetoelectric Coupling In A Fega/Pmn-Pt Multiferroic Heterostructure, Trifon Fitchorov, Yajie Chen, Bolin Hu, Scott M. Gillette, Anton Geiler, Carmine Vittoria, Vincent G. Harris

Anton Geiler

The fringe magnetic field, induced by magnetoelectric coupling in a bilayer Fe-Ga/Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3_PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) multifunctional composite, was investigated. The induced external field is characterized as having a butterfly hysteresis loop when tuned by an applied electric field. A tuning coefficient of the electrically induced fringe magnetic field is derived from the piezoelectric and magnetostrictive properties of the composite. A measured maximum tuning coefficient, 4.5 Oe/(kV cm−1), is found to agree well with theoretical prediction. This work establishes a foundation in the design of transducers based on the magnetoelectric effect.

Giant Magnetoelectric Coupling And E-Field Tunability In A Laminated Ni2mnga/Lead-Magnesium-Niobate-Lead Titanate Multiferroic Heterostructure, Yajie Chen, Jingmin Wang, Ming Liu, Jing Lou, Nian X. Sun, Carmine Vittoria, Vincent G. Harris Apr 2012

Jing Lou

The multiferroic properties of a laminated heterostructure consisting of magnetostrictive Ni2MnGa ribbon and piezoelectric lead-magnesium-niobate-lead titanate crystal are reported. A tunability of the electric field-induced magnetic field was measured by a shift in the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) field by 230 Oe at X-band while applying an electric field of 6 kV/cm. Concomitantly, a frequency shift in the FMR of 370 MHz was observed. The sensitive tunability stems from a large linear magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, A=41 Oe cm/kV, measured in the heterostructure. This represents a new class of metallic multiferroic heterostructures that operate at microwave frequencies.

Anton Geiler

The dynamic time domain response of the converse magnetoelectric effect in a multiferroic Metglas®/Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PMN-PT) heterostructure, under the application of a square waveform electric field excitation of 8 kV/cm at a frequency of 0.4 Hz, is reported. The relaxation behavior followed a stretched power-law function allowing the calculation of an intrinsic time constant. Aging behavior of magnetoelectric coupling was observed after polarization switching of 1000 cycles. These phenomena are predominantly attributed to the temporal response of polarization within the PMN-PT crystal. Results elucidate the dynamic properties of relaxor-based multiferroic heterostructures and importantly define operational constraints for low frequency device operation.

A systematic study of electric-field-tuned ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of a ferroelectric/ferromagnetic/semiconductor multiferroic heterostructure, consisting of a Co₂MnSb epitaxial film grown on a GaAs substrate bonded to a lead zinc niobate-lead titanate crystal, is reported. The films, grown by pulsed laser deposition, were studied for their crystallographic structure, magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and magnetostrictive and ferromagnetic resonance properties. Ferromagnetic resonance measurements were carried out at X-band frequency under the application of electric fields with external magnetic fields applied along the [110], [100], [1Ī0] and [001] directions of the Heusler film. Magnetic anisotropy fields were derived from the angular dependence of FMR measurements, yielding …

Yajie Chen

Multiferroic behavior was directly verified in a laminated ferroelectric-ferromagnetic heterostructure consisting of a FeCoV thick film (70 μm) and lead zinc niobate-lead titanate (PZN-PT) single crystal. This unique heterostructure demonstrates a significant converse magnetoelectric (CME) effect corresponding to a CME coupling constant of 31 Oe/kV cm⁻¹ It derives from the soft magnetic and magnetostrictive properties (λ=60 ppm) of FeCoV alloy and the superior electromechanical properties (d32=-2800 pC/N) of PZN-PT crystal. The electric field controlled magnetic hysteresis is discussed in terms of a stress-induced anisotropy field model. The theoretical calculation is within 7% of the measured induced field of 240 Oe.
