Abstract
We report an enhanced magnetoelectric (ME) effect in a heterostructure consisting of a long-type, longitudinally-longitudinally polarized 0.71Pb(Mg13Nb23)O3-0.29PbTiO3(PMN-PT) piezoelectric single-crystal transformer with its input part sandwiched between two longitudinally magnetized Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92(Terfenol-D) magnetostrictive alloy bars. The observed ME effect has two independent operational modes: namely, ME sensing mode and ME transduction mode. The ME sensing mode features a large ME voltage coefficient (V) of ∼0.32 VOe over a flat frequency range of 1-50 kHz, while the ME transduction mode possesses two colossal resonanceVof 7.6 and 7.9 VOe, corresponding to the first and second longitudinal resonances, at 56.2 and 127.9 kHz, respectively. This enhanced dual-mode ME effect not only enables the application potential of the heterostructure, but also advances the technology of power-free ME sensors and transducers.
