The influences of the load resistance R L on the magnetoelectric (ME) characteristics of NiZnFe 2 O 4 +PZT composite were investigated in the non-resonance frequency range. The ME coefficient peak increases with increasing R L , but the frequency indicating the ME coefficient peak decreases with increasing R L . The maximum output power peak is approximately 9.3×10 -10 mW/Oe near R L =3.3 MΩ at f=280 Hz, and the ME coefficient seems to be saturated at R L >20 MΩ. This frequency shift effect of R L shows that the frequency range for an ME sensor application can be modulated with the appropriate value of R L . The ME output voltage has a good linear response to the ac field Hac and shows fair stability over a range of temperatures. The measured non-linearity of this sample is approximately 0.8%. This sample will allow for a low-strength magnetic ac-field sensor. The result from this sample will serve as basic data for a signal-processing circuit system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
