Description

The synthesis and magnetoelectric (ME) characterization of bilayers of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) and hot-pressed ferrite Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O3 (NZFO) are discussed. Very strong ME interactions are measured for the bilayers. The bilayers exhibit superior ME coupling compared to thick film composites prepared with the tape-casting technique. The ME coupling was found to increase with increasing sintering temperature of the ferrite. This supports the idea that the mechanical transport efficiency of the magnetostriction of the ferromagnetic layer is one of the key factors in ME coupling in laminate composites
