    Broadband/Wideband Magnetoelectric Response
    Park, Chee-Sung; Priya, Shashank (Hindawi, 2012-04-08)
    A broadband/wideband magnetoelectric (ME) composite offers new opportunities for sensing wide ranges of both DC and AC magnetic fields. The broadband/wideband behavior is characterized by flat ME response over a given AC frequency range and DC magnetic bias. The structure proposed in this study operates in the longitudinal-transversal (L-T) mode. In this paper, we provide information on (i) how to design broadband/wideband ME sensors and (ii) how to control the magnitude of ME response over a desired frequency and DC bias regime. A systematic study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the broadband/wideband behavior by developing experimental models and validating them against the predictions made through finite element modeling. A working prototype of the sensor with flat bands for both DC and AC magnetic field conditions was successfully obtained. These results are quite promising for practical applications such as current probe, low-frequency magnetic field sensing, and ME energy harvester.

    Design and characterization of broadband magnetoelectric sensor
    Park, Chee-Sung; Ahn, Cheol-Woo; Ryu, Jungho; Yoon, Woon-Ha; Park, Dong-Soo; Kim, Hyoun-Ee; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2009-05-01)
    In this study, we present a broadband magnetoelectric (ME) sensor design comprising of Metglas and piezoelectric ceramic laminate composite. A systematic study was conducted to elucidate the role of various composite variables toward the ME response [longitudinal-transverse (LT) mode] over the applied range of magnetic dc bias. The broadband behavior was characterized by flat ME responses over a wide range of magnetic dc bias at frequency of 1 kHz. The variation in ME coefficient as a function of magnetic dc bias was found to be significantly dependent on the size and shape of the laminate composites, the number of Metglas layers, and composite structure of sandwich versus unimorph. By adjusting these variables, we were able to achieve near-flat ME response over a magnetic bias range of 90-220 Oe. ME coefficient was also measured as a function of frequency, and at electromechanical resonance the peak value was found to be almost independent of applied magnetic bias in the range of 90-220 Oe.

    Dimensionally gradient magnetoelectric bimorph structure exhibiting wide frequency and magnetic dc bias operating range
    Park, Chee-Sung; Ahn, Cheol-Woo; Yang, Su-Chul; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2009-12-01)
    We report results on a dimensionally gradient magnetoelectric (ME) sensor that demonstrates high performance over a wide frequency range and a magnetic dc bias operating in the longitudinal-transversal mode. The design of the sensor is based on a piezoelectric bimorph structure and utilizes a laminate configuration with Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)(0.2)(Zr0.5Ti0.5)(0.8)O-3 and Metglas as material layers. The wide-band behavior was characterized by a flat ME response over a wide range of magnetic dc biases corresponding to 60-215 Oe and frequencies corresponding to 7-22 kHz. By using tip mass, the wide-band frequency response was shifted to a lower frequency range of 5-14 kHz. The results show that the operating frequency range of the sensor can be easily shifted by changing the tip mass at the end of the composite.

    Effect of intensive and extensive loss factors on the dynamic response of magnetoelectric laminates
    Cho, Kyung-Hoon; Park, Chee-Sung; Priya, Shashank (AIP Publishing, 2010-11-01)
    We report the correlation between intensive and extensive losses in piezoelectric materials with the frequency dependent response of layered magnetoelectric (ME) composites. Three different piezoelectric compositions were synthesized to achieve varying loss characteristics allowing a systematic interpretation of changes in ME coupling in terms of loss components. We clearly demonstrate that intensive dielectric and piezoelectric loss play an important role in controlling the ME sensitivity of layered composites in sub-resonance low frequency range while extensive mechanical loss is dominant factor at resonance condition. Further, the maximum in ME response is obtained at antiresonance frequency of piezoelectrics. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3511285]

    Enhanced domain contribution to ferroelectric properties in freestanding thick films
    Ryu, Jungho; Priya, Shashank; Park, Chee-Sung; Kim, Kun-Young; Choi, Jong-Jin; Hahn, Byung-Dong; Yoon, Woon-Ha; Lee, Byoung-Kuk; Park, Dong-Soo; Park, Chan (American Institute of Physics, 2009-07-15)
    We report the success in fabricating clamped, "island," and freestanding 10 mu m thick piezoelectric films using aerosol deposition. The deposition was conducted at room temperature by impinging the piezoelectric particles flowing through the nozzle onto platinized silicon (Pt/Ti/SiO(2)/Si) substrate and crystallization was conducted by annealing at 700 degrees C. Freestanding films were synthesized by increasing the cooling rate from annealing temperature to room temperature which resulted in large internal stress between the substrate and film interface. Dielectric and ferroelectric characterizations showed enhanced ferroelectric performance of freestanding films as compared to continuous or clamped film which was associated to increased domain contribution due to decrease in degree of clamping as further confirmed by piezoforce microscopy.

    A generalized rule for large piezoelectric response in perovskite oxide ceramics and its application for design of lead-free compositions
    Ahn, Cheol-Woo; Maurya, Deepam; Park, Chee-Sung; Nahm, Sahn; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2009-06-01)
    We present a general rule for the perovskite oxide ceramics: "A large piezoelectric constant in ABO(3) perovskite ceramics can be obtained by tuning the weight ratio of A and B sites, WA/WB or WB/WA, to 3. Piezoelectric constant decreases significantly when WA/WB or WB/WA is in the range of 0.5-2.0, termed as forbidden zone." A comparative analysis was conducted for broad range of materials demonstrating the applicability of proposed rule. Further based on this rule optimized compositions in BaTiO3 and alkali niobate based systems were developed. Polycrystalline ceramics in modified BaTiO3 system were found to exhibit longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient (d(33)) of 330 pC/N, while alkali niobate ceramics showed d(33) of 294 pC/N.

    Giant magnetoelectric coupling in laminate thin film structure grown on magnetostrictive substrate
    Park, Chee-Sung; Khachaturyan, Armen G.; Priya, Shashank (AIP Publishing, 2012-05-01)
    Highly dense 1 mu m-thick piezoelectric film was deposited on magnetostrictive substrate [platinized nickel-zinc ferrite (NZF)]. A strong magnetic coupling between the piezoelectric film and magnetostrictive NZF substrate was measured exhibiting the maximum magnetoelectric (ME) coefficient on the order of 140 mV/cm Oe at the conditions of H-DC = 50 Oe and H-AC = 1Oe at f = 1 kHz. This giant ME coupling under low DC magnetic field condition is attributed to effective elastic coupling. A rotation-type dynamic strain distribution was observed on the PZT film surface which provides information about the nature of elastic coupling. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

    High magnetic field sensitivity in Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3)-Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3) single crystal/Terfenol-D/Metglas magnetoelectric laminate composites
    Park, Chee-Sung; Cho, Kyung-Hoon; Arat, Mustafa Ali; Evey, Jeff; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2010-05-01)
    We report the magnetic field sensitivity results on five layer structure given as Metglas/Terfenol-D/PMN-PZT/Terfenol-D/Metglas, where PMN and PZT correspond to Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O(3), respectively. The piezoelectric constant (d(33)) of poled PMN-PZT was found to be 1600 pC/N with dielectric constant of 5380 at 1 kHz. The sensitivity measurements were conducted after attaching individual layers in the laminate clearly delineating the effect occurring in the response. The magnetoelectric response for this five layer structure at 1 kHz was found to be 5 V/cm Oe at dc bias field of 1000 Oe under an ac drive of 1 Oe. At 1 kHz frequency, the sensor was able to deterministically measure step changes of 500 nT while at 10 Hz we can clearly identify the sensitivity of 1 mu T. These results are very promising for the cheap room-temperature magnetic field sensing technology. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3406142]

    Park, Chee-Sung; Avirovik, Dragan; Bressers, Scott; Priya, Shashank (AIP Publishing, 2011-02-01)
    We report nanotesla sensitivity in Metglas/piezoelectric/carbon fiber/piezoelectric laminates with active tip mass operating in the vicinity of second bending mode. The peak magnetoelectric response for the laminate with an active tip mass (1 g) in longitudinal-transversal mode under H(dc)=8 Oe and H(ac)=1 Oe was found to be similar to 1.08 V/cm Oe at 43 Hz (first bending mode) and similar to 19 V/cm Oe at 511 Hz (second bending mode). At the standard 1 kHz frequency, the maximum resolution of 5 nT was measured under H(ac)=0.5 Oe. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3552970]

    Piezoelectric and Magnetoelectric Thick Films for Fabricating Power Sources in Wireless Sensor Nodes
    Priya, Shashank; Ryu, Jungho; Park, Chee-Sung; Oliver, Josiah; Choi, Jong-Jin; Park, Dong-Soo (MDPI, 2009-08-17)
    In this manuscript, we review the progress made in the synthesis of thick film-based piezoelectric and magnetoelectric structures for harvesting energy from mechanical vibrations and magnetic field. Piezoelectric compositions in the system Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃– Pb(Zn₁/₃Nb₂/₃)O₃ (PZNT) have shown promise for providing enhanced efficiency due to higher energy density and thus form the base of transducers designed for capturing the mechanical energy. Laminate structures of PZNT with magnetostrictive ferrite materials provide large magnitudes of magnetoelectric coupling and are being targeted to capture the stray magnetic field energy. We analyze the models used to predict the performance of the energy harvesters and present a full system description.

    Self-biased converse magnetoelectric effect
    Yang, Su-Chul; Cho, Kyung-Hoon; Park, Chee-Sung; Priya, Shashank (AIP Publishing, 2011-11-01)
    In this letter, we investigate the direct magnetoelectric (DME) and converse magnetoelectric (CME) effects in three-phase metal-ceramic laminate composites. Longitudinally poled and transversely magnetized (L-T) laminate was fabricated by bonding nickel plates between the two particulate magnetoelectric (ME) composite layers of composition 0.8 (0.948 K(0.5)Na(0.5)NbO(3) - 0.052 LiSbO(3)) - 0.2 (Ni(0.8)Zn(0.2)Fe(2)O(4)) (KNNLS-NZF). Under off-resonance condition, the laminates exhibited hysteretic DME and CME responses as a function of applied bias field (H(bias)). Self-biased effect characterized by non-zero ME response at zero H(bias) was observed. The self-biased DME and CME properties were found to be enhanced under resonance conditions. Without external H(bias), magnetic induction switching was possible by applying AC voltage. These results provide the possibility of using self-biased CME effect in electrically controlled memory devices and magnetic flux control devices. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.

    Self-biased magnetoelectric response in three-phase laminates
    Yang, Su-Chul; Park, Chee-Sung; Cho, Kyung-Hoon; Priya, Shashank (American Institute of Physics, 2010-11-01)
    This study reports the experimental observation and analysis of self-biased magnetoelectric (ME) effect in three-phase laminates. The 2-2 L-T mode laminates were fabricated by attaching nickel (Ni) plates and ME particulate composite plates having 3-0 connectivity with 0.948Na(0.5)K(0.5)NbO(3)-0.052LiSbO(3) (NKNLS) matrix and Ni(0.8)Zn(0.2)Fe(2)O(4) (NZF) dispersant. The presence of two types of ferromagnetic materials, Ni and NZF, results in built-in magnetic bias due to difference in their magnetic susceptibilities and coercivity. This built-in bias (H(bias)) provides finite ME effect at zero applied magnetic dc field. The ME response of bending mode trilayer laminate NKNLS-NZF/Ni/NKNLS-NZF in off-resonance and on-resonance conditions was shown to be mathematical combination of the trilayers with configuration NKNLS-NZF/Ni/NKNLS-NZF and NKNLS/Ni/NKNLS representing contributions from magnetic interaction and bending strain.

    Tunable magnetoelectric response of dimensionally gradient laminate composites
    Park, Chee-Sung; Avirovik, Dragan; Bichurin, Mirza I.; Petrov, Vladimir M.; Priya, Shashank (AIP Publishing, 2012-05-01)
    A magnetoelectric (ME) sensor exhibiting wideband behavior as a function of applied magnetic DC bias and frequency was designed by combining the dimensionally gradient piezoelectric layer with Metglas magnetostrictive layers in laminate configuration. The ME coefficient of the band in the DC magnetic range of 52-242 Oe was measured to be 3000 mV/cm Oe under the resonant condition of f = 107 kHz. The wideband in the AC magnetic field frequency range of 41-110 kHz had the ME coefficient in the vicinity of 260 mV/cm Oe under the conditions of H-AC = 1 Oe and H-DC = 70 Oe. This frequency-dependent ME behavior clearly showed two different states on each side of the resonance peak which could open the possibility of developing new applications such as magnetic field-controlled switches.
