Preface
The magnetoelectric (ME) effect is the result of a “product property”, i.e., the mechanical deformation due to magnetostriction results in a dielectric polarization due to the piezoelectric effect. Such effects can realize the energy conversion between the electric field and the magnetic field. In recent decades, considerable research efforts have been put into the ME effect, first in single-phase multiferroic materials, then in piezoelectric/magnetostrictive bulk composites, and recently in piezoelectric/magnetostrictive laminated composites. It has been reported that the large ME voltage coefficient makes the ME composites suitable for applications in magnetic field sensors, transformers, actuators, and transducers.
In general, the strength of the ME effect is determined by both the piezoelectric and piezomagnetic coefficients for material. However, the values of piezomagnetic coefficients for the most magnetostrictive material are close to zero at zero-biased magnetic field, such piezoelectric/magnetostrictive laminated composites need to be provided with an external dc bias magnetic field to produce high ME response. The needs for a magnetic bias field cause some significant disadvantages for the practical application of highly precise, sensitive and miniature magnetic sensor devices, such as adding a potential noise source, reducing the spatial resolution and increasing the device volume and costs.
In fact, combining traditional magnetostrictive/piezoelectric laminated composites with magnetization-graded ferromagnetic materials can obtain highly zero-biased ME response. In this book, the authors discuss these ME composites based on magnetization- graded ferromagnetic materials from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.
This book is composed of six chapters. The structure of the book is as follows. Chapter 1 introduces the current research progress and results of ME composite from the theoretical and experimental aspects. Chapter 2 analyzes and compares the ME effects of different ME laminate composites. Specifically, effects of layer structure and ferromagnetic material on ME performance are investigated. Chapter 3 focuses on dynamic magnetostriction characteristics of novel magnetization-graded ferromagnetic materials. Chapter 4 systematically introduces and comprehensively analyzes the ME composites based on magnetization graded ferromagnetic materials with both theoretical model and experimental testing method. Chapter 5 dwells on the optimized ME composites based on magnetization- graded ferromagnetic materials by adjusting the composite configuration, selecting more suitable ferromagnetic material and improving self-biased ME effect for the optimized ME composite. Chapter 6 presents the main application of these composites.
