Abstract

A resonant voltage frequency doubler using the nonlinear magnetoelectric effect in planar heterostructure containing a piezoelectric langatate single crystal placed between two layers of amorphous ferromagnetic Metglas alloy was fabricated and studied. The frequency doubling occurred due to the nonlinear dependence of the Metglas magnetostriction on the magnetic field. A nonlinear magnetoelectric coefficient of 7.1 V/(cm Oe2) was obtained at acoustic resonance frequency of the structure due to high acoustic quality factor of ~2820. The power conversion coefficient of the doubler reached ~1% at optimal bias magnetic field of 2 Oe and matched load resistance of 0.8 kΩ.
