Abstract:
We fabricated and characterized the magnetoelectric (ME) properties of 3-0 ME composite materials comprised of the high piezoelectric voltage coefficient material, 0.9Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3-0.1 Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 + 0.005Mn (PZT-PZN), and the magnetostrictive material, Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 (NZF). As the ME effect is generated by the product coupling between the piezoelectric properties and the magnetostrictive properties, the NZF content should be optimized for a higher ME coefficient. The dielectric constant and spontaneous polarization (P) were decreased with increasing NZF content before the percolation of the NZF particulates. However, as the NZF content exceeded the percolation content, the dielectric loss was dramatically increased due to the low resistivity of NZF. While the piezoelectric constant was decreased with increasing NZF content, the maximum magnetization was linearly increased. When we combined the piezoelectric and magnetostrictive effects, the ME composite sintered at 1200 degrees C with 20% NZF showed a maximum dE/dH of 27 mV/cm x Oe at a magnetic bias of 1240 Oe.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
