Electric-field-induced magnetization (EIM) characteristics are investigated in a small 0.68[Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.32PbTiO3/Terfenol-D bilayered composite by using double coils in a wide frequency range of 10–700 kHz. The EIM behaviors are strongly dependent on driving electric field frequency, bias magnetic field, and angle θ between the bias magnetic field and polarization direction. The magnetoelectric coefficient at electromechanical resonance frequency of 185 kHz reaches up to 3.1×10−7 s/m, which is ∼60 times higher than the values at nonresonance frequency. The EIM variations with the bias magnetic field exhibit hysteresis, forming EIM hysteresis loops caused by the magnetostrictive hysteresis from Terfenol-D.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
