Flexible polymer-based magnetoelectric (ME) materials have broad application prospects and are considered as a new research field. In this article, FeCoSiB thin films were deposited on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) substrate by DC magnetron sputtering. The structure of PVDF-TrFE/FeCoSiB heterostructure thin films was similar to 2-2. Under a bias magnetic field of 70 Oe, the composites have a dramatically increased ME voltage coefficient as high as 111 V/cm⋅Oe at a frequency of about 85 kHz. The piezoelectric coefficient of PVDF-TrFE thin films is 34.87 pC/N. The surface morphology of PVDF-TrFE thin films were studied by FESEM, and the results of XRD and FTIR showed that the β-phase of PVDF-TrFE thin films was dominant. Meanwhile, the effects of different heating conditions on the crystallization and piezoelectric properties of PVDF-TrFE films were also studied. The flexible ME heterojunction composite has a significant ME voltage coefficient and excellent piezoelectric properties at room temperature, which allows it to be a candidate material for developing flexible magnetoelectric devices.
Gyroscopes in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology have high accuracy, convenient use, and broad application prospects. In practical applications, it is found that angular rate error is one of the main reasons that affect the output accuracy of gyroscopes. In the angular rate error calibration of MEMS gyroscopes, the method of calibrating the gyroscopes only by changing the bias and scale coefficients obtained by fitting cannot meet the angular rate error calibration of MEMS gyroscopes whose dynamic range exceeds . Therefore, the research proposes an improved calibration method to solve the problem of angular rate error, using dynamic compensation algorithms to achieve dynamic compensation for the angular rate of MEMS gyroscopes. Experiments show that using the dynamic compensation calibration method proposed in this paper, the root mean square error of the angular rate of MEMS gyroscopes has decreased by 52.37% compared to the previous one, verifying the feasibility of this method.
