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.

Nanocrystalline films of the Ni₁₁Co₁₁Fe₆₇₋ₓZr₇B₄Cux (x=0,1) composition were deposited on fused quartz substrates by pulsed laser deposition. For the films ofNi₁₁Co₁₁Fe₆₆Zr₇B₄Cu, the bcc grain size ranged from 5 to 8 nm in the films deposited at substrate temperatures from ambient to 300°C. Films grown at a substrate temperature of 300°C were found to have optimal magnetic properties including minima in the coercivity and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth. The magnetic characterization studies showed coercivity Hc < 5 Oe, 4πMs ∽16 kG, and in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field (HA)∽25-30 Oe. The ferromagnetic resonance linewidth was measured to be 34 Oe and zero magnetic field …

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.

The magnetic and magnetostriction properties of Z-type cobalt-doped barium hexaferrite with perpendicular c-axis crystallographic texture are presented. The hexaferrite was utilized as a component in Co₂Z/lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate multiferroic heterostructures whose tunability of permeability with electric field in terms of ferromagnetic resonance shift was supported by experiments and theoretical calculation. A permeability change of 16% was measured by an induced magnetic field of 38 Oe under the application of 6 kV/cm of electric field. These findings lay the foundation for the application of Z-type hexaferrites in tunable rf and microwave devices valued for sending, receiving, and manipulating electromagnetic signals.

Barium hexaferrites (BaFe₁₂O₁₉) are especially useful for microwave/millimeter devices. Due to large ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) loss (linewidths > 2 kOe), traditional compacts of polycrystalline Ba ferrites indeed hinder the utilization of the materials for practical devices. The present experiment demonstrates that the quasi-single-crystal Ba ferrite disks can be fabricated by a single solid-state reaction technique without liquid phase participation, combining with a processing of alignment for the ferrite seed crystals. The ferrite bulks show a pure hexagonal Ba ferrite phase, an expected 4πMs of 4.48 kG, and coercivity of 10∽20 Oe along the c axis, similar to the results of a …
