ABSTRACT
The frequency dependence of the magnetoelectric (ME) voltage is investigated in a thick film multilayer consisting of nickel zinc ferrite and lead zirconate titanate. A maximum in the ME voltage is observed at 1.5–2 kHz, well below the frequency for bending or acoustic modes in the sample. A model that takes into account the frequency dependence of the sample resistance and permittivity is developed. The theory is in good agreement with the data.
