A Quantitative Model For The Nonlinear Response Of Fluxgate Magnetometers, A. L. Geiler, V. G. Harris, C. Vittoria, N. X. Sun

An analytical nonlinear hysteresis model was developed to describe the hysteresis loops of different magnetic materials, which was capable of fitting Permalloy films as an example. As a case study this model was applied in the sensitivity analysis of the fluxgate magnetometers where accurately capturing the nonlinear behavior of the magnetic core is crucial. Straightforward analytical equation of the output voltage signal as well as its harmonic decomposition was obtained for the fluxgate magnetometer as a function of hysteresis loop parameters. Sensitivity values predicted by the model were found to be consistent with the measured values published previously. The model …


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

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.

The present work shows good control of both magnetic and electric properties with electric and magnetic fields, respectively, for epitaxial CoFe2O4 (CFO) films on Pb(Mg,Nb)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT). X-ray reciprocal space mapping revealed a transformation between a- and c-domains in the PMN-PT under electric field (E). Magnetic hysteresis loop and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) measurements showed a considerable change in the magnetic properties in specific areas of CFO layers poled by MFM probe tips. Furthermore, a pulsed electric field applied to the substrate was found to switch the magnetization of CFO between high and low values, depending on the polarity of E.
