Abstract: The Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3-CoFe2O4 laminated composite ceramics composed of the piezomagnet CoFe2O4, and the piezoelectrics Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 with the sintering agents CuO and CeO2, were prepared by the interfacial solid-state melt infiltration technique. It is found that a good interfacial bonding between the piezomagnet and piezoelectrics is obtained. With the increasing thickness ratio of piezomagnet to piezoelectrics, the magnetostriction coefficient (–λ) of the laminated ceramics increase, the piezoelectric coefficient (d33) decrease, and the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient (αE) increases firsty and then decreases. The values of –λ and d33 of the laminated ceramics are in the range from 67×10-6 to 134×10-6 and 205 pC/N to 340 pC/N, respectively. At dc magnetic field of 100 mT along with ac frequency of 230 kHz and the thickness ratio of 2, a maximum value of αE=3200 mV/(cm·mT) is achieved for the laminated ceramics.
