The magnetoelectric effect in pulsed magnetic fields

A measurement method for studying the magnetoelectric effect in pulsed magnetic fields was developed. Besides magnetization, the system allows the measurement of magnetostriction (using strain gauges) and the magnetoelectric effect. For measuring the magnetoelectric effect a special sample holder with fixed contacts and compensation coils was developed to ensure the reproducibility of the measurements. The magnetoelectric effect can be measured by two different methods: (i) During the application of a magnetic field pulse when the voltage appearing on the sample is directly recorded and (ii) As a function of a high frequency (f=10kHz) ac field superimposed to the main field pulse. In this way an ac voltage appears in the sample which is proportional to the charge change ΔQ=Q0sin(wt+Φ). This voltage is measured using a fast analog lock-in amplifier. A detailed description of the total system is provided. The magnetoelectric effect on well known composites of cobalt ferrite and barium titanate was measured ...
