Regarding the high magnetoelectric voltage coefficients, mul- tiferroic composites on the basis of magnetostrictive ferrites and rare earth-transition intermetallics have been studied intensively since the beginning of this century [2,3,5–10] . In particular, opera- tion principle, design and functioning characteristics of these new ME sensors have also been described [2,3] . Values of magnetic field response ( dV ME / dH ) as high as 0.06 × 10 − 3 V/Oe, 56 × 10 − 3 V/Oe and 13 × 10 − 3 V/Oe were reported for ME sensors using magne- tostrictive Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 3 ferrites [5] , Terfenol-D laminates [6] and Terfecohan thin films [7] , respectively. In an approach to use ME sensors for the determination of ac magnetic-field strengths, Fetisov et al. [8] have successfully developed a promising sensor with a sensitivity better than 10 − 3 Oe for milli-Hz frequency mag- netic fields. Furthermore, strong efforts have been undertaken to enhance the ME effects by altering the shape and the volume ratio of the piezoelectric/magnetostrictive laminates [11] or by improving the lamination process [12] . In the case of micro fabrication, Greve et al. [13] reported a giant ME coefficient as high as 737 V/cm Oe for (Fe 90 Co 10 ) 78 Si 12 B 10 -AlN thin film composites. Recently, an ME sensor using Co-based Metglas/PZT laminates was designed, fab- ricated and characterized for determining the strengths as well as the orientations of dc - and ac -magnetic fields [3] , where an ME- voltage response ( dV ME / dH ) of 2 × 10 − 3 V/Oe at low dc fields and, in particular, a response ( dV ME / dh ac ) as high as 17 × 10 − 3 V/Oe at the low ac -ones was reported. These findings imply a great potential for self-powered detection of low ac -magnetic fields. For an optimal design of ME laminate sensors, modeling approaches have been undertaken by several research groups ( e.g. [14–20] ). While some models [15] have taken into account the effect of the thickness ratio between the piezoelectric and 0924-4247/$ – see front matter © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
