Comparison of noise floor and sensitivity for different magnetoelectric laminates

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 ( Mg 1 / 3 Nb 2 / 3 ) O 3 - PbTiO 3 (PMN-PT) or...

Zusammenfassung: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 ( Mg 1 / 3 Nb 2 / 3 ) O 3 - PbTiO 3 (PMN-PT) or Pb ( Zn 1 / 3 Nb 2 / 3 ) O 3 - PbTiO 3 (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.
