Magnetoelectric characteristics of the structure amorphous alloy AMAG/lead zirconate titanate/amorphous alloy AMAG

The field, frequency and load characteristics of the linear magnetoelectric effect of three-layer structures based on the amorphous AMAG alloy and lead zirconate titanate were studied in the low-frequency region and in the region of electromechanical resonance. The influence of the magnetostrictive layer thickness on the magnetoelectric characteristics of these structures was considered. It was shown that the value of the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient and the resonance frequency increase with increasing thickness of the magnetostrictive layer. The magnitude of the bias magnetic field corresponding to the maximum of the magnetoelectric response also increases with increasing magnetostrictive layer thickness. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
