Abstract

In contrast to the Pb-based magnetoelectric laminates (MELs), we find in the BaTiO3 and NiFe2O4 laminates (number of layers n = 5-25) that the longitudinal magnetoelectric (ME) voltage coefficient αE33 becomes much larger than the transverse one due to preferential alignment of magnetic moments along the NiFe2O 4 plane. Moreover, upon decreasing each layer thickness down to 15 μm, we realize enhanced αE33 up to 18 mV/(cm·Oe) and systematic increase of the ME sensitivity in proportion to n to achieve the largest in the Pb-free MELs (400 × 10-6 V/Oe), thereby providing pathways for tailoring ME coupling in mass-produced, environment friendly laminates.
