This paper is aimed at acquiring functional ceramics with broadband magnetoelectric (ME) response for sensing wide-range of dc bias magnetic field. Three-phase particulate ceramics CoFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}/Ni{sub 0.8}Zn{sub 0.2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 4}/Bi{sub 0.5}Na{sub 0.4}K{sub 0.1}TiO{sub 3} (CFO/NZFO/BNKT) were fabricated, and the effect of magnetostrictive phase on the piezoelectric, magnetic, and ME properties were investigated systematically. Separated phases and homogeneous microstructure of the magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases were confirmed. The variation in magnetostrictive coefficient with dc magnetic field was found to be markedly dependent on the relative content of magnetostrictive microparticles. By merging the nonlinear piezomagnetic response of the two ferrite components together, the ME composites present dual-peak bands. A wide-range ME coefficient was achieved over a magnetic range of 1800 Oe with large ME value of 20 mV/cm Oe. This field-conversion broadband ME behavior indicates that three-phase particulate ME ceramics are quite preferable for practical applications in magnetic field sensor.
