The particulate and the multilayer CoFe2O4(CFO)–BaTiO3(BT) composites were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method and the tape casting method, respectively. Both the prepared composites were simultaneously ferroelectric and ferromagnetic at room temperature. For the multilayer composite sample, a piezoelectric resonance frequency remarkably depended on the applied DC magnetic field, while no remarkable magnetic field dependence was observed for the particulate composite samples. An uniform magnetostriction of the CFO phase in the multilayer composite contributes to piezoelectric effect of the BT phases, resulting in the modulation of the piezoelectric resonance frequency.
► We focused on the magnetic field dependence of a piezoelectric resonance in CFO–BT. ► For the multilayer CFO–BT, a piezoelectric resonance depended on the magnetic field. ► The uniform magnetostriction contributes to piezoelectric effect for the multilayer.
