Uniformity of direct and converse magnetoelectric effects in magnetostrictive–piezoelectric composites

摘要

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally confirmed the uniformity of magnetoelectric (ME) coupling coefficients for the direct and converse ME (DME and CME) effects in longitudinal-transverse (L-T) mode magnetostrictive–piezoelectric two-phase composites, both at low frequencies and in the electromechanical resonance region. We also discussed the flaws in previous measurements of the ME coupling coefficients, which led to misunderstandings in the uniformity between the DME and CME effects. Our current work provided a correct method to correctly understand ME coupling in magnetostrictive-piezoelectric two-phase composites.
