The necessary correction concerns Eq. ͑2͒ for the transverse magnetoelectric ͑ME͒ coefficient for a bilayer of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases. The exact expression given below takes into account the in-plane piezomagnetic coupling q 12 m measured perpendicular to the static magnetic field:The expression reduces to Eq. ͑2͒ for q 11 m ϭq 12 m . Such a condition, however, is not satisfied in nickel ferrite. Our estimation of q 12 m from data on magnetostriction for the ferrite indicates a small positive value for q 12 m ͑compared to a large negative value for q 11 m ͒. The corrected theoretical values of ␣ E,31 are thus a factor of 2 smaller than the estimates in Figs. 6 and 7. The overall good agreement between data and theory claimed in the work, however, is not affected by the correction to calculated values.
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.
