The product property of magnetoelectricity, observed was studied in composites of BaTiO[sub 3] or PZT and CoFe[sub 2]O[sub 4]. An experimental setup was constructed to measure the magnetically induced magnetoelectric effect. Magnetostrictive properties of CoFe[sub 2]O[sub 4] were observed. The hysteresis in magnetostriction was very small, which increases the useful range of the magnetic field in applications. The piezoelectric properties were much better and hence the magnetoelectric effect in multilayer samples was much larger than in ball mill mixed composites because of better poling. The magnetoelectric voltage coefficient in the multilayer composites was larger than those in the composites prepared by ball-mill mixing. The maximum values were 92.8 (V/m)/(kA/m) for the tape-cast cofired CoFe[sub 2]O[sub 4]-PZT4 composites and 9.55 (V/m)/(kA/m) for CoFe[sub 2]O[sub 4]-BaTiO[sub 3] (20:80 mole % ratio) ball-mill-mixed composites. Theoretical models were developed to calculate the magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 2-2 composites with different boundary conditions.
