Interface coupling enhanced layered magnetoelectric composite ceramic and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multifunctional composite ceramic material and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a layered magnetoelectric composite ceramic with enhanced interface coupling and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of information technology, a single functional material is difficult to meet the requirements of miniaturization and multi-functionalization of novel electronic components, and the development of multi-functional materials becomes a research hotspot. The magnetoelectric functional ceramic material not only has all the characteristics of a single ferroelectric material and a ferromagnetic material, but also has magnetoelectric effect generated by electric order and magnetic order coupling, so that the magnetoelectric functional ceramic material has wide application prospect in the fields of electronic materials and devices such as a magnetic or electric field sensor, a magnetoelectric storage unit, an energy acquisition device, a microwave device and the like.
The magnetoelectric functional ceramics can be roughly classified into three types, namely, a particle type, a layer type and a column type according to the composite structure type. Compared with a particle type and columnar type composite structure, the layered type magnetoelectric composite ceramic can avoid the problems of uneven dispersion of low-resistance phases in a matrix and leakage current caused by communication due to the laminated structure configuration; meanwhile, the direct co-firing combination of the phase interface can improve the stress transfer of the interface, and is beneficial to obtaining high magnetoelectric voltage coefficient and high magnetoelectric conversion efficiency, so that the material can play a unique role in the application field of novel intelligent magnetoelectric materials and devices as a magnetoelectric conversion unit or a sensitive element.
The interface coupling effect is one of the key factors for determining the magnetoelectric effect of the laminated magnetoelectric composite ceramic, and the improvement of the interface coupling strength of the piezoelectric layer and the magnetostrictive layer is very important. However, the problems of interface element diffusion and chemical reaction, interface microstructure defects, thermal shrinkage mismatch and the like easily occur in the high-temperature co-fired layered magnetoelectric ceramic, so that the interface stress transfer is weakened, and the generation of high magnetoelectric coupling coefficients is restricted. Although researchers have adopted methods such as reducing the co-firing temperature, doping modification, introducing a buffer layer and the like to improve the interface coupling effect in the co-firing process to a certain extent, the new problems such as low material density, abnormal grain growth at the interface and the like are easily caused, and the improvement of the magnetoelectric coupling performance of the layered magnetoelectric composite ceramic material is not facilitated.
