Development and Application of a Magnetoelectric Coupling Measurement System for Strain-Mediated Effects
Abstract
This paper reports about development of a dynamic lock-in based magnetoelectric (ME) coupling measurement system and its application to investigate strain-mediated coupling in 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.35PbTiO3/NiFe2O4 (PMN-PT/NFO) and CoFe2O4/BaTiO3 (CFO/BTO) composites. The PMN-PT/NFO composite exhibits a significantly enhanced ME coefficient (αME ≈ 1.85~mV\,mm−1\,Oe−1) compared to CFO/BTO (≈ 0.147~mV\,mm−1\,Oe−1). The antisymmetric field dependence and 180∘ phase reversal confirm the strain-driven origin of coupling in both the samples. The superior response of PMN-PT/NFO arises from the combined effect of high piezoelectric strength in PMN-PT and low magnetic anisotropy of NFO, whereas the high magnetic anisotropy of CFO and weaker piezoelectricity of BTO limit the ME output. These results highlight the decisive role of magnetic softness and piezoelectric strength in optimizing strain-mediated ME coupling.
