The magnetoelectric effect comes in two physical forms. The first is from a ferroic material such as Bismuth Iron Oxide (BFO) which exhibits internal coupling between its magnetic properties and its ferroelectric properties. The second is from composite devices which are constructed by mechanically coupling a magnetic material to a piezoelectric material. A magnetic field applied to a composite device creates stress in the magnetic material which transfers the stress to the piezoelectric material. The traditional method for measuring magnetoelectric effect is to stimulate the sample with a magnetic field while measuring the voltage generated across the sample. These voltages can be so small that a lock-in amplifier is required to pull the signal out of ambient noise. Charge measurement under the same circumstances produces a much larger signal and can be related to the voltage response using the dielectric constant of the material [1]. The charge test is an exact analog to the traditional electrical hysteresis test with the exception that the test instrument applies a magnetic field to the sample instead of an electric field. The presenter will describe the test procedure as presently used and outline future objectives for improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the results.","PeriodicalId":20497,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISAF-ECAPD-PFM 2012","volume":"80 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85254107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the model describing the motion of the domain walls and presented else where in this congress, we establish, in the limit of the Rayleigh domain, the variation of the dielectric constant ε and of the piezoelectric coefficient d with the amplitude of the applied constraint. For low amplitudes, we have to consider two different mechanisms: the vibration of the wall in a pinning centre and its jumps between sites. For the vibration mechanism, we show that ε and d are nondependent of the amplitude of E or σ, while these quantities vary linearly with the amplitude for the jump processes. So, the jumps contribution becomes important only if the amplitude is higher than a threshold value. This one is a function of the frequency and of the temperature. This results in a hyperbolic law which is a generalization of the Rayleigh law. A parallel between the electrical and mechanical responses ε and d is done and the corresponding hyperbolic laws are plotted with normalized variables. In this representation, the curves ε(E) and d(E) are identical because each response is due to the same mechanism, the motion of the domain walls. The link between the two quantities is the electrostrictive coefficient. Data from the literature confirms this theoretical result. Finally, studies at higher amplitudes shows that the response deviates from the hyperbolic law. The value of the amplitude for which a deviation from the hyperbolic law is significant strongly depends on the difference between the frequency used and the frequency of the relaxation of domain walls. This is in agreement with data of the literature.","PeriodicalId":20497,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISAF-ECAPD-PFM 2012","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85371278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments were conducted with a piezoelectric material on a steel cantilever substrate. The substrate was subjected to impact at various distances from the free end of the piezoelectric material to vary the applied strain. It was found that the output voltage increased with the strain (distance of impact from free end) until crack formation, which led to a large decrease in output. However, Ag paste could successfully restore electrical contact. Furthermore, before crack formation, coating with UV curable resin increased the maximum strain, and therefore, maximum electrical output, as well as cycle life.","PeriodicalId":20497,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISAF-ECAPD-PFM 2012","volume":"67 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80623684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We recorded and analyzed the vibrations of Korea Train eXpress (KTX). We experimented with different cantilever beam thicknesses (0.25, 0.6, and 1.0 mm) and different piezoelectric material dimensions (10.0 × 10.0 × 0.5 mm3, 20.0 × 10.0 × 0.5 mm3, and 30.0 × 10.0 × 0.5 mm3) on real data from recorded random frequencies and train vibration amplitudes. The addition of tip masses on the cantilever beam decreased the natural resonance frequency range when the vibrations were constant but not when they were random. The optimal condition was experimentally found, to involve decreasing the beam thickness and increasing the beam area rather than merely increasing the tip mass. The most effective method to improve the operational sensitivity was to decrease the resonance frequency by adding tip masses, decreasing beam thicknesses, and increasing beam areas.","PeriodicalId":20497,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISAF-ECAPD-PFM 2012","volume":"68 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81295630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structure and dielectric properties of BST-CBT have been investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns show a relative low degree of solubility as a result of coupled substitutions of Bi3+ and Ca2+ both on the A site and the specific structure of CBT. The temperature and frequency dependences of the dielectric constant indicate a crossover from a normal ferroelectric to relaxor behavior. The degrees of diffuseness and relaxor behavior are found to increase with the increasing amount of CBT. The frequency dependence of the temperature of dielectric peak Tm can be well described by Vogel-Fulcher relation. The activation energy Ea increases with x increasing, indicating the more and more energy for the polarization reversal of micropolar regions, which is associated with the enhanced interactions of polar domains.","PeriodicalId":20497,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISAF-ECAPD-PFM 2012","volume":"10 48 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78718554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To well understand the resulting properties, it is necessary to develop a model describing these movements. In this work, we establish the motion equation of one domain wall induced by application of an electric field E or of a mechanical stress σ. The effects of a magnetic field could also be envisaged. The domain wall is viewed as an equivalent rigid plane in interaction with the crystalline imperfections, these latter being represented in terms of viscous damping force and of restoring force. The model can be applied to single crystals at low constraint amplitudes because the walls density is a constant as well as at high amplitudes if this density remains constant. The polarization P, the strain S, the dielectric constant ε and the piezoelectric coefficient d are obtained from the model. In particular, the frequency dependence of ε and d (real and imaginary parts) is calculated and the corresponding expressions of the relaxation times are obtained. We determine also the variation of ε and d with the amplitude of the ac applied constraint (E or σ) in the limit of low intensities which results in the hyperbolic law (this latter corresponds to the full expression of the Rayleigh law). The temperature dependence is also included. The expressions of various cycles (P, S, ε and d as a function of E or σ) are also achieved. Predictions of the model for single crystals are in well agreement with experimental data presented in literature.","PeriodicalId":20497,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISAF-ECAPD-PFM 2012","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85557405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
