Magnetoelectric coupling in ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures: A survey and perspective

Dynamic Magnetoelectric Effect of Soft Layered Composites with a Magnetic Elastomer

“…Despite the intense investigations in the field of multilayered multiferroics, numerous questions such as properties modifications still require more detailed investigations and thus remain the focus of research [ 24 ]. In particular, in [ 20 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], the authors mentioned that the utilization of polymer components in a magnetoelectric structure should be promising for the development of flexible electronics including sensors and energy-harvesting devices or biomedical devices.…”

Correlation of Magnetomechanical Coupling and Damping in Fe80Si9B11 Metallic Glass Ribbons

“…In recent years, Fe-based amorphous alloys with significant magnetomechanical effects have been successfully used in laminated magnetoelectric (ME) composites, which usually consist of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive layers [1][2][3][4][5]. The ME energy coupling of laminated piezoelectric/magnetostrictive composites can be described as magnetic energy converted to mechanical energy and then to electric energy through the strain/stress coupling between these two types of materials [2].…”

“…When a magnetic field is applied to ME composites, their ferromagnetic layers shrink or stretch due to the magnetostrictive effect; then, the resulting strain/stress is transferred to the piezoelectric material, leading to a voltage change [2]. Devices based on laminated ME structures have shown promising potential for use in magnetic sensors, acoustically driven antennas and power conversion devices due to their high energy conversion efficiency [1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…As a key component of ME structures, Fe-based amorphous alloys should possess a relatively high conversion efficiency between magnetic power and mechanical power. To develop such materials, the requirement is to balance two or more parameters, as relevant parameters in materials usually impact one another to a significant degree [1]. However, keeping a parameter unchanged while improving other correlated parameters is normally quite a challenging task, even more so to balance two main parameters in some energy-converting materials.…”

Polarization current effect, strain effect and ferroelectric field effect on electrical transport properties of Eu0.7Sr0.3MnO3/PMN-PT multiferroic heterostructure

“…Compared with single-phase multiferroic materials, such as BiFeO 3 [1,2], PbFeO 3 [3] and BiMnO 3 [4], the composite multiferroic heterostructures combine the piezoelectric effect of ferroelectric materials with the magnetostrictive effect of * Authors to whom any correspondence should be addressed. ferromagnetic materials to achieve a stronger magnetoelectric coupling effect to meet actual application [5,6]. Doped rare earth manganese oxide R 1−x A x MnO 3 with perovskite structure (R is rare earth ion, A is divalent alkaline earth metal ion) is a typical strongly correlated system with the interplay between lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom [7,8].…”
