Giant magnetoelectric effect in Metglas/polyvinylidene-fluoride laminates
Open accessAbstract
Here, the authors report thin (<100μm) and flexible magnetoelectric (ME) composites consisting of Metglas (high-μ magnetostriction) and polyvinylidene-fluoride (piezopolymer) layers laminated together. Both unimorph and three-layer configurations have been studied. The authors find that these ME laminates (i) require dc magnetic biases as low as 8Oe to (ii) induce giant ME voltage coefficients of 7.2V∕cmOe at low frequencies, and up to 310V∕cmOe under resonant drive.

In ME energy transfer, a magnetic field causes the magnetostrictive material to deform, and the piezoelectric component converts this mechanical deformation into an electrical voltage.
“Upon reaching the transducer, the magnetic field causes the magnetostrictive material to undergo a deformation. This mechanical deformation is then converted into an electrical voltage by the piezoelectric component, effectively transferring energy from the external source to the implant (Dong et al., 2003; Zhai et al., 2006; Singer et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
