Abstract

The Ni-P/Ni/Pb(Zr,TiO)3 (PZT) cylindrical layered magnetoelectric (ME) composites have been prepared by electroless deposition and electrodeposition. The ME effect in the axial mode was researched in this paper. Compared with that of the Ni/PZT and Ni-P/PZT composites, the Ni-P/Ni/PZT composites have both lower optimal magnetic field and higher ME voltage coefficient. The reason for the ME improvement can be ascribed to the flux concentration effect and the compressive stress in the Ni layers induced by the high permeability Ni-P layers. These results open up a suitable way to enhance the sensitivity and optimize the design of ME devices for practical application.
