Magnetoelectric Properties of Lead-Free Three-Layer Structure Barium–Titanate–Piezoceramic Nickel

The results of the comprehensive magnetoelectric interaction research in three-layer structure Ni–piezoceramic BaTiO3–Ni are presented. It has been theoretically shown and experimentally confirmed that, in the general case, the dependence of the magnetoelectric response has non-linear character. At low bias magnetic field, a quadratic dependence magnetoelectric response from an AC magnetic field is observed then there is a linear section, as well as at high values of the field magnetoelectric response has saturation. The obtained values of the magnetoelectric characteristics (αEmax = 32 V(cmOe) for resonance and 437 mV/(cmOe) for field dependence) for lead-free three-layer structure barium–titanate–piezoceramic nickel are comparable with the magnetoelectric characteristics for similar structures, based on lead-containing ceramics.
