Due to its high permeability, Metglas can be incorporated as the third phase into conventional Pb（Zr, Ti）OJTerfenol-D laminates, which results in a stronger magnetoelectric（ME） response. The increase in Metglas thickness significantly influences the ME response as well. The ME voltage coefficient for a structure with a 150 grn thick Metglas layer on both sides of Terfenol-D/Pb（Zr, Ti）O3 laminates at 1 kHz was found to be 1.2 V/cmOe at dc magnetic bias field of 590 Oe under an ac magnetic drive of 1 Oe, which was notably higher in comparison to similar structures with other different Metglas thickness.

This ME device is made up of two opposite polarized piezoelectric PZT slices bonded on the same side of a magnetostrictive material Metglas, forming a novel two PZT in-series device. ME voltage obtained from the two PZT in-series is obviously higher than that of single PZT in a magnetic field with certain value. The ME voltage coefficient（αV） of the surface-mount ME device is significantly enhanced by adjusting the thickness of Metglas： 1） At a frequency of 1 k Hz, αV of this device increases with the layer number of Metglas increased, and the maximum value of αV is about 4.25 times than the minimum; 2） At a frequency of 5 k Hz, the maximum value of αV is 458 mV /Oe, which derives from the ME device with three layers Metglas. This novel design provides an effective way to manufacture miniature and high sensitive ME devices, which makes it possible to apply ME device into integrated circuit（IC）.展开更多
