Abstract

Magnetoelectric (ME) laminated composites with all phases environmentally friendly were prepared by sandwiching one layer of thickness-polarized (Bi12 Na12) TiO3 - (Bi12 K12) TiO3 -BaTiO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramic disk between two layers of thickness-magnetized Tb0.3 Dy0.7 Fe1.92 giant magnetostrictive alloy disk along the thickness direction. The composites exhibited the maximum ME voltage coefficient of 40.7 mV/Oe with a flat response in the measured frequency range of 0.1-20 kHz under a dc magnetic bias of 5 kOe. The induced ME voltage showed an extremely linear relationship to the applied ac magnetic field with amplitude varying from 3× 10-5 to 10 Oe over a broad range of dc magnetic bias of 0-5.5 kOe. The high ME effect was analyzed and found to be comparable to most major lead-based ME composites. The present study opens up possibilities for developing green ME devices.
