Hysteresis and remanence in magnetoelectric effects in functionally graded magnetostrictive-piezoelectric layered composites

The observation and theory of a large remanent magnetoelectric (ME) coefficient and coercivity in the static field $H$ dependence of the low-frequency ME effects are reported for bilayers of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and a functionally graded ferromagnetic layer. The grading involves magnetizati... View More
