Piezoelectric single crystal and magnetostrictive Metglas composites: Linea...: EBSCOhost
Both the linear (αV) and nonlinear (αV,n) magnetoelectric coefficients were systemically studied in laminated composites of Metglas and [001]-orientated piezoelectric single crystals of Pb(Mg1/3 Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) and Mn-doped PMN-PT. The coefficients were close in value in both cases at quasistatic mode (i.e., 3.8V/Oe relative to 3.5V/Oe) and were enhanced by factors of ×18 (Metglas/PMN-PT) and ×32 (Metglas/Mn-doped PMN-PT) at the electromechanical resonance (EMR). The use of Mn-doped PMN-PT crystals results in a higher gain factor due to a larger mechanical quality factor (i.e., 20.9 relative to 40.6). Accordingly, both types of laminates had similar values of αV,n when modulated at 1 kHz, but Mn-doped PMN-PT ones had a higher value when modulated at the EMR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
