Abstract

Magnetoelectric (ME) composites, via strain-mediated coupling, possess the ability to modulate electric polarization with a magnetic field and magnetization with an electric field. ME devices find application as various multifunctional devices with significant potential for magnetic energy harvesting. This paper explores the ME coupling ( α M E ) between the laminate composite comprising lead-free, high piezocoefficient ceramic BCTZ and high piezomagnetic coefficient Nickel-Iron alloy (48 %NiFe). The ME response increased significantly, reaching 1.51 V cm −1 Oe −1 at the first bending resonance mode and 7.88 V cm −1 Oe −1 at the fundamental longitudinal resonance mode. The latter exhibited a 100-fold increase in α M E compared to the non-resonant low-frequency value. A finite element method simulation is set up to study the ME effect as a function of frequency to elucidate various resonance modes in the sample. Magnetic energy harvesting application is demonstrated by examining the power density at bending resonance mode and a maximum power density of 6.94 mW cm −3 is obtained at 11 kHz. This lead-free, highly efficient ME device shows significant potential for magnetic energy harvesting.
