Abstract

A composite material when placed under the external magnetic/electric fields exhibits voltage/induced magnetization is known as magnetoelectric (ME) composite. Such composite materials should have ferroelectric and ferro/ferri magnetic phases as constituents. The magnetoelectric output is exhibited as a product property. Magnetoelectric composites are being used for variety of applications including resonators, filters, phase shifters, optical isolators, actuators and magnetic field sensors. Metal/ferroelectric/metal magnetoelectric composite using Ni and PZT as constituent phases has been fabricated in 2-2 composite pattern to study its product property. The paper presents magnetoelectric studies of Ni/PZT/Ni composite using low dc magnetic field magnetoelectric set-up. Using this ME set-up ME output of Ni/PZT/Ni composite is studied as a function of dc magnetic field. The results were analyzed to identify the useful magnetic field (dc and ac) range in which Ni/PZT/Ni sensor can be utilized for applications.
