Magnetoelectric (ME) effect has been studied in semicircular composites with a negative magnetostrictive/piezoelectric/positive magnetostrictive Ni/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/FeCo trilayered structure. The ME behavior of the Ni/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/FeCo is different from those in previous studies and zero-bias ME...

The Ni layers with good soft magnetic properties have been successfully electroless deposited on PZT layers. To study the thermodynamics and kinetics of electroless Ni-deposition, the effect of bath parameters such as pH and temperature has been discussed. The structural, magnetic and...

Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in layered structures of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases are mediated by mechanical deformation and depends strongly on the interface conditions. Ni-lead zirconium titanate-Ni trilayers with neither electrodes nor bonding layers have been derived by...

Magnetoelectric (ME) Ni/Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 bilayers have been successfully prepared by hydrothermal method using Ti as buffer layer. The hydrothermal mechanism of PZT thin film deposited onto Ni layer has been discussed. The structure and ferroelectric properties of the deposited PZT thin films...
