Description:
Multi-electrode Pb(Zr,TiO) 3 /Ni cylindrical layered magnetoelectric (ME) composites were made by electroplating. The electroplated Ni layers were arrayed as four arcs on the inner PZT cylinder surface. The axial ME voltage coefficient of the composites was studied. Due to the cylinder symmetry, each of the four units of the PZT/Ni cylinder showed the same ME voltage response as the whole cylindrical ME composite, or when connected in parallel. When the four units were connected in series, the ME voltage was improved about three times than the single unit. This optimization is promising for the miniaturized ME devices design.
