Enhanced magnetoelectric effects in laminate composites of Terfenol-D/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 under resonant drive

Abstract
We have found that laminate composites consisting of longitudinally magnetized magnetostrictive Terfenol-D and longitudinally poled piezoelectric Pb ( Zr,Ti ) O 3 layers have dramatically enhanced magnetoelectric effects when driven near resonance. The maximum induced magnetoelectric voltage at resonance was ∼10 Vp/Oe, which is ∼10 2 times higher than previous reports at subresonant frequencies.
