Temperature dependent dielectric and magnetoelectric response of multiferroic CoFe2O4 and Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 multilayered structure.

The temperature dependence of the dielectric properties, along with the field and frequency dependences of the magnetoelectric properties of a CoFe2O4/Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3/CoFe2O4 laminate structure has been investigated. The longitudinal magnetoelectric experiments were performed using an AC magnetic field of 3 Oe, with DC magnetic field biases from 0 to 1000 Oe and frequencies of 100 to 92 kHz. The dielectric measurements were taken from 100 Hz to 1 MHz at three temperature conditions: 295 K, the temperature decreasing at 2°K/min to 150 K, and then increasing the temperature up to 295 K again.
