Background:

  • The linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect describes the induction of magnetization by an electric field or electric polarization by a magnetic field.
  • Accurate measurement of the ME effect is crucial for developing novel electronic devices and understanding fundamental material properties.
  • Existing techniques for measuring the ME effect can be limited in precision or experimental simplicity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt a commercial superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer for precise measurements of the linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect.
  • To demonstrate the capability of the modified SQUID setup using a known magnetoelectric material.
