Electric-field-controlled magnetic responses in Metglas and lead zirconate titanate laminated composite

Electric-field-controlled magnetic responses are investigated in Metglas and lead zirconate titanate based laminated composites by using induction method within different frequencies. The largest value of converse magnetoelectric (CME) coefficient is 4.18 G/V at the resonance frequency of 103 kHz under a low magnetic bias field of 45 Oe. Furthermore, the CME coefficient and optimum magnetic bias field can be tuned in a wide range by applying dc electric field biases. The CME characteristics with the frequency of driving electric voltage, magnetic bias field, and different dc electric field biases are discussed in present paper.

Highlight
► Electric-field-controlled magnetic responses are investigated in Metglas and PZT based laminated composites.
► A large CME coefficient of 4.18 G/V has been observed under a very low Hbias of 45 Oe.
► The CME effect can be effectively influenced by application of the dc electric voltage bias on the PZT plate.
