Multilayered thin films consisting of alternatively stacking Pb(Zr_(0.4)Ti_(0.6))O_(3) (PZT) andNi_(0.8)Zn_(0.2)Fe_(2)O_(4) (NZFO) layers were fabricated to exploit a strain-mediated coupling of piezoelectricity and magnetostriction. The 450-nm-thick PZT/NZFO multilayer fabricated by pulsed laser deposition showed magnetodielectric effects upon applying a static magnetic field. The magnetoelectric (ME) susceptibility values estimated using these magnetodielectric responses were in the range of 15-30 mV/cm Oe at a zero magnetic-field strength and were comparable to those obtained using a more commonly employed "dynamic" ME method.
