    We present a comparison of the magnetoelectric (ME) response and magnetic-field sensitivities of engineered laminate sensors comprised of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases. The ME voltage coefficients for Metglas and single crystal fibers of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3) O-3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) or Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3) O-3-PbTiO3 (PZN-PT) are about 2.8 times larger than those with Metglas-Pb(Zr, Ti)O-3 (PZT) ceramic ones. This results in a 1.7 times enhancement in the magnetic-field sensitivity for the structures with single crystals. Accordingly, the noise floors are about three to four times lower for composites with PMN-PT or PZN-PT fibers than those with PZT. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3486483]

    We demonstrate a significant control of the polarization response under an applied magnetic field for a magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructure. This structure was comprised of a 2 mu m thick ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BTO) film deposited on flexible ferromagnetic metallic glass foil (25 mu m thick). Au was used as a buffer layer to control BTO growth orientation, and to protect the metallic glass from oxidation. x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the successful growth of well-crystallized BTO films with a high degree of (111) orientation on the amorphous metallic glass foils. Well-defined polarization (P-E) and magnetization (M-H) hysteresis loops confirmed the coexistence of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. A ME voltage coefficient of about similar to 60 mV/cm Oe was measured. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3544352]
