摘要
Magnetic/piezoelectric multiferroic heterostructures with a magnetic thin film on a piezoelectric slab provides a great opportunity to achieve a strong converse magnetoelectric coupling with great potential for voltage tunable magnetic devices. Efforts have been made in developing highly magnetostrictive RF magnetic materials with low magnetization using magnetic/piezoelectric heterostructures to generate large electric-field induced effective magnetic fields. In this work, we report on NiCr films having low magnetization and relatively large magnetostriction. Strong converse magnetoelectric coupling and large electric field tunable ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) bandwidths are achieved in layered NiCr/lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and NiCr/lead zinc niobate lead titanate (PZN-PT) multiferroic heterostructures. A large electric field induced effective magnetic field of 260 Oe for NiCr/PZT and 756 Oe for NiCr/PZN-PT was observed, corresponding to a giant magnetoelectric coupling coefficient of 13 Oe cm/kV in NiCr/PZT and 75.6 Oe cm/kV in NiCr/PZN-PT multiferroic heterostructures. A high voltage tunable FMR frequency range was observed, with f(max)/f(min) being 124 and 325% for NiCr/PZT and NiCr/PZN-PT. The strong converse magnetoelectric coupling of NiCr/PZT and NiCr/PZN-PT heterostructures provide great opportunities for electric field tunable RF magnetic devices.
