Abstract:
The direct and inverse magnetoelectric effects in nickel ferrite spinel-PZT bulk composites are experimentally studied at low frequencies and in the range of electromechanical resonance. The frequency and field dependences of the magnetoelectric effect are analyzed. It is shown that the direct effect resonantly grows at the antiresonance frequency and the inverse effect grows at the resonance frequency. The dependences of the resonance and antiresonance frequencies on the composition of the composite material are determined.
