Temperature dependence of the characteristics of the resonant magnetoelectric effect in a lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate/nickel structure

We have studied the temperature dependence of the characteristics of the resonant magnetoelectric (ME) interaction in the planar composite structure comprising a ferroelectric layer of lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate and a layer of nickel. It is established that an increase in the temperature in a 220?C340 K interval is accompanied by a decrease in the resonance frequency and in the efficiency of the interaction. The results can be used in developing methods for thermal stabilization of ME devices.
