Abstract
This paper details fabrication of Pb(Zr0.6Ti0.4) O3 (PZT) layer on Metglas (MG) foils - a magnetoelectric monolithic herterostructure with reduced fatigue and enhanced ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. Polarization-electric field measurements revealed reduced fatigue for PZT-MG monoliths due to reduced clamping: remnant polarization (2Pr) increased from 24 μC/cm2 to 91 μC/cm2 after the first 5×105 cycles. In comparison, PZT on SrTiO3 (STO) exhibited a monotonous decrease in Pr. Piezoelectric measurements demonstrated a d33 value two times larger for PZT/MG than PZT/STO. Finally, magnetic hysteresis loop measurements showed a dramatic increase of the saturation magnetic field for PZT/MG, due to elastic strain at the interface.
