Magnetoelectric characterization equipmentMagnetoelectric measurement

 

 

Magnetoelectric measurements are carried out using an experimental setup that contains a combination of two Helmholtz coils: a high power coil and a high frequency one, designed to independently provide a static increasingly high magnetic field up to 1 kOe (magnetization field), and an alternate magnetic field of 10 Oe at varying frequencies between 1 kHz and 200 kHz (the stimulus), respectively. The output voltages developed as a response of the alternate magnetic field are monitored with a lock-in amplifier.

 

 

Examples of measurements carried out with this equipment can be found in the following publications:
