In this study, a dual-mode Metglas/Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 magnetoelectric sensor was developed for measuring weak magnetic fields in both AC and DC modes with high resolution. The sensor achieved accurate AC magnetic field resolution of 0.8 nT at a wide operating frequency range, and a ultra-accurate DC magnetic field resolution of 0.9 nT with low noise power spectral density using the DBFP method. The dual-mode sensor enhances measurement flexibility and application scope for simultaneous wideband measurement of DC and AC magnetic fields.
In this study, a dual-mode Metglas/Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 magnetoelectric (ME) sensor was prepared for measuring weak magnetic fields. It is interesting to note that this ME sensor can work at alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) dual-modes with high field resolution. In AC mode, a very accurate AC magnetic field resolution of 0.8 nT was achieved at a mechanical resonance frequency of 72.2 kHz; moreover, the operating frequency band for resolution better than 1 nT is as wide as 3.4 kHz. We proposed a DC bias field perturbation (DBFP) method to detect the DC magnetic field using lock-in amplifier technology. As a result, an ultra-accurate DC field resolution of 0.9 nT with noise power spectral density as low as 100 pT/root Hz was obtained in the studied ME sensor via the DBFP method. The dual-mode ME sensor enables simultaneous measurement for DC and AC magnetic fields with wideband and accurate field resolution, which greatly enhances the measurement flexibility and application scope.
