Jump effect based magnetically tunable resonance of PZT-ring/TDF-strip composite with improved sensitivity

Abstract By considering the jump effect of magnetostrictive materials, a novel structure of PZT-ring/TDF-strip magnetoelectric composite is proposed to achieve magnetically tunable electromechanical resonance with a DC bias magnetic field. With the jump effect induced piezomagnetic coefficient of the Tb 0.3 Dy 0.7 Fe 1.92 strip, the resonance properties of the Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 ring are theoretically studied and experimentally measured. The highly consistent results prove that the proposed composite has two resonant frequencies with improved sensitivity (133 Hz/Oe) and enhanced resolution (722 ppm/Oe) of resonance shift, which provide the feasibility of magnetically tunable electromechanical resonance with a low magnetic field and suggest the application potential for controllable sonar transducer.
